Some people asked me what meritocratic egalitarian means. It's actually very simple. Obviously all people deserve a basic level of sustenance, it's the only moral thing to do. But it's also a fact that some civilizations contributed more to human knowledge and advancement, while others spread only war and disease. It'd be unfair for all these people to be treated as equal.

@Quellist1Resleeved The idea that you can view/model/judge an entire civilization or a large group of people with the same metrics/methods you judge an individual is delusional. Very very useful though, if you want to justify and encourage dehumanization, wars, massacres etc.

@namark Wars and murders are human nature. It's wired into our genes. But some more than others. To deny these facts would be delusional.

@Quellist1Resleeved
To concede to your nature is nothing but animal, what is human is to defy it. You don't need to be vague about it, say what you mean: "some people are not human".

@Quellist1Resleeved Are you saying that one should judge a person based on which "civilization" they are descended from?
