Our Merit-Based Society Has Been Displaced by a Diversity-Based Society by Paul Craig Roberts!

I have been watching its arrival for a number of years, and now it has arrived-the transformation of our society from merit-based to status-based. This is a major revolution.

"From status to contract" was Sir Henry Maines description of the rise of a merit-based society in which aristocratic privilege was eliminated and equality under the law instituted. This revolution has now been overthrown, and we as a society have moved back to status as determined by race and gender. If you are a member of an "under-represented" race or gender, you enjoy "diversity status" and preference in hiring and promotion just as aristocrats did in the hierarchy of social class.

The new status-based society is everywhere one looks. For example, the accounting firm, Price-Waterhouse, describes itself as "a culture of belonging." "Unwavering determination and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion" has achieved a Price-Waterhouse board that is 40% female and 40% racially-ethnically diverse. Price-Waterhouses aspirational goals for 2026 are a 50% increase in the firms black and Hispanic-Latinx workforce, a 50% increase in women, and to have 40% of its suppliers "certified diverse."

Notice that Price-Waterhouse does not define its aspiration in terms of having the best qualified work force. Apparently, Price-Waterhouse thinks that hiring based on merit would be discriminatory and not inclusive. Why does Price-Waterhouse think that white women and non-white ethnicities are less capable than white men? If Price-Waterhouse did not think that, why does the firm base its hiring on race and gender status?

Merit is clearly discriminatory, but it discriminates on the basis of ability, not on the basis of race and gender. There always have been highly capable women and non-whites. Why not hire them on the basis of their merit, not for their race and gender?

Maybe it is not realized, or perhaps those behind the diversity agenda do, that the reintroduction of status privileges means the death of equality under the law. A legal system of differential rights reintroduces status-based law.

We already see this. Only white people can be guilty of hate speech and hate crimes. Only white people can be verbally abused. In many United States cities under Democrat administration it is not a felony for blacks to steal, repeatedly, up to $950 from stores without arrest and prosecution. And so on. The fact is startling that the majority white population of the United States is being relegated to second class legal standing.

The construction of privileged-based races and genders creates a privileged-based society. The United States has been revolutionized. we have moved from contract to status.

The Destruction of Western Civilization Is Almost Complete by Paul Craig Roberts!

Western Civilization Has Been Tossed into the Memory Hole

Truth cannot exist without the peoples support.

A childrens choir was stopped from singing the United States National Anthem in the United States Capitol by Capitol police because it might offend someone. "please read here:"

The Bible is being removed from Utah public schools because it is a danger to children. "please see here:"

Facebook has ruled that Christian statements violate Facebooks "community standards on hate speech." "please read here:"

The EU says Elon Musks free speech policy for Twitter constitutes "disinformation." "please see here:"

White people are a myth says Cambridge University.

Cambridge University is teaching students that the Anglo-Saxons never existed as a distinct ethnic group, in an effort to "dismantle the myths" of English nationalism, The United Kingdom Telegraph reported on Saturday. Liberal academics have long decried the term for its association with "whiteness." "please read here:"

We can not have a nation because nations offend.

We can not have Christianity because Christianity offends.

We can not have free speech because free speech offends.

We can not have whiteness because whiteness is racist and offends.

These are the stated positions of the United States Capitol Police, Utah public school district, Facebook, the European Union, and Cambridge University.
