Quotes by Adam Kotsko (?)

“You can't have a "debate" with people who constantly tell crazy lies. Pretending you can only legitimates their crazy lies.”

“That is the great danger of meritocracy: the people who reach the top of the system are precisely the people who have most completely identified with the system and its demands, creating a vicious circle preventing any actual change. It is no accident that conservatives tend to employ the rhetoric of social mobility so readily, as social climbers generally do not ask questions about the ladder.”
