this particular quote always haunts me because what little we know of renan society is that it is stratified into a strict and ever self-reinforcing hiearchy that has individuals' perceived value and fates decided entirely by performance indicators that cater specifically to the system's destructive needs for growth and expansion, with such performance indicators being highly correlated to the individual's family background on which they have no control. which is more or less what meritocracy is, shionne was so real for this actually

#arise curse #shionne posting #i imagine that 実力主義 and meritocracy actually have slightly different connotations?#but i think for our purposes meritocracy works just fine #also shionne's line highlights how normalized and internalized the merit-based justification for inequality is #which is also an important part of it #rare arise W #tales of arise #love that shes saying this while dressed as a Humble Farmer #also you cant see it well bc of how i cropped but rinwell looks absolutely appalled at the concept
