I am for meritocracy before capitalism, only in that if you pursue the former you will have the most productive of the latter. And what I have seen, in no short order, is those with the connections, regardless of skill or talent, get the job. And it pissing me off because the loss of production is profound.
This has nothing to do with envy, it has to do with who is the best. Who is the ultimate gladiator. Who is the one who can do the best and produce the most. Not suck off of daddy's teets and falsely claim some sort of "achievement" because they're a vice president of Goldman Sachs.
You want revolution?
It will be when the best had enough of "getting by" and decide it's easier to just bitch slap and kill these Mother Effers in positions of power they didn't earn because, frankly, it pisses them off and they're entitled to the throne and the only means by getting the throne is to cheat just as much as they do and resort to something as simple as revolution, killing and assassination.
Sorry to get so real, but I'm fed up and bar something grandiose happening I don't see society going any other way.
