A #kakistocracy is a state of #government, in which the incompetent and most scrupulous people hold #power. The opposite of a #meritocracy. A perfect, contemporary example of a kakistocracy is the current #US #administration, while #China is the closest the world has to offer for a meritocracy.

Anarchism in judicial robes, by Owei Lakemfa
My mind raced back to British jurist, Lord Denning who famously declared in 1964: “Justice has no place in darkness or secrecy. When a judge sits on a case, he himself is on trial… If he is suspicious, biased, or unfair, then the judge is the one who is condemned in the eyes of public opinion.” But these words of wisdom seem not to have any meaning to Justice Lifu, shockingly, a former lecturer of Public and International Law, University of Ibadan. For me, what was more distressing was that despite the uproar, Justice Lifu seemed oblivious of the damage he had done to the body polity, the judiciary and his thirty five years post-call to bar history.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/26/anarchism-in-judicial-robes-by-owei-lakemfa/

“ #ConsumerWelfare, #RevealedPreferences, #regulatorycapture & #meritocracy are just some of the ways that #capitalism's alleged defenders cooked up to insist that they love the competitive discipline imposed by markets while being totally dependent on self-described #capitalists who have utterly escaped from that discipline and have committed to doing everything in their power to prevent themselves from ever coming under any form of constraint.
…
Today, these [ #billionaires ] clutch their pearls at the "demonization" of the ultra-rich, calling it "billionaire derangement syndrome." But the only "billionaire derangement syndrome" that matters is the syndrome that affects billionaires and convinces them that they are above any discipline or rules.” -

White people who think racism is mostly a thing of the past, or that if people of color have trouble getting jobs it must be because they're lazy or unqualified, you need to take a look at this: https://tech.lgbt/@kitsunecafe/113199844429725786
Racists are everywhere, including in "liberal" or "enlightened" fields like tech, and they'll just deadass scuttle people's chances of getting hired for bogus reasons.
