Douglas Murray explains the heart of the Meritocracy debate and why the Left's goals are fundamentally flawed. From the 2023 National Review Institute Ideas ...
Interesting clip, but I think Murray’s analysis of the Left is pretty flawed. He focuses on the Left’s support for affirmative action—and there’s perhaps some good criticism to be made of that, but it’s not in this video—but conveniently doesn’t mention the fact that the Right isn’t doing jack shit to solve the problem of societal inequality. They shoot down Leftist ideas, but offer no alternatives. That’s why they’ve been gradually losing on all these equality fronts and the culture war in general.
