>hierarchy

Class hierarchy must be fluid in order to ensure that each level gets fresh talent and resources each generation, otherwise the higher levels tend to stagnate and the middle class revolts to replace them and the cycle continues, or in the case of the empire in LOGH the authoritarian regime remains in control through force and subversion. The same goes for the FPA e.g the court martial on yang who dindu nuffin and the scene where the councilor reminiscent of Hillary Clinton who said war was better than losing their reputations and Lebello and his bro stood up to them. The empire doesn't even have free press so no one really knows whats going on amongst the nobles because they control all the news. (It all sounds vaguely familiar)

Hey, I had already said adaptability. You keep half-assing memes like that we're gonna have a problem.

Is advocating for a meritocratic society hypocritical when you consider yourself superior to >99.99% of the country?

>>1980233
I think that depends on who decides the merit in a society. If a good leader, whether he is a king or a president, can put the best person for the job in each position in his respective governments then wouldn't he be considered the top guy in society? If bad leaders simply use pay to play (like how hillary was planning to sell positions in her government based on donations, not to mention influence) or simply assign yes men to positions of power it wouldn't be meritocratic, nor would the top position in government be the top guy for the job and not suitable to be running a country.

actually the leveling process is an attempt to increase stability

makes sense, when everyone is equal nobody can make a difference

I think it would be hypocritical if you didn't consider yourself superior.

Well ok, but unwarranted self importance is inherent to most unintelligent people

>strict social hierarchy
Yes.
>hereditary social hierarchy
No.

Social mobility is paramount to any society that doesn't want to be dissolved in a mire of complacence and sloth.
