Merit is the only thing that matters.
For years, I have been telling you all that we are engaged in a War on Value, and also a War on Reality.
The problem is that only one side is truly fighting, and whenever someone is brave enough to stand up to the SJW mob, they are viciously attacked, falsely accused, and increasingly, "canceled".
Our culture and social institutions are dominated by disgraceful people with poisonous agendas who are uninterested in discussion or debate, but in one thing alone: Power.
Any effective defense of Western values and culture is going to necessitate a battle for control of not only the government, but our schools, news media, and arts and entertainment establishments.
Truth must be spoken: "social justice" isn't justice at all: it's a cage in which to keep humans as far away as possible from achievement and ambition.
