It is not just incompetence and stupidity, but #egocentrism, #mediocracy, #villany, #hedonism that makes people like Trump and his cronies. Very dangerous. History is full of them. And the weird thing is: we the #Populus elect them and then suffer because of them.

Mediocracy: shown on Saturday Night Live in 1998–once, then pulled from future syndication.
@AFWorld steping beyond rhetorical contrasts, I think focusing too much on mediocracy / meritocracy risks missing the point.
I like meritocracy — I’ve seen the difference.
In Russia in 2025, it coexists with mediocracy: in the military sphere, it’s meritocracy (corrupt officials are jailed), while in the civilian realm, everything is still distributed through connections or loyalty.
That’s why I see both #meritocracy and #mediocracy as tools of social reinforcement.
Mediocracy
This was shown on Saturday Night Live in 1998 — just once. It was then pulled from future syndication of SNL.

Word of the Day: MEDIOCRACY - rule by the mediocre. A lofty goal the Great British public can only dream of attaining.
Why do #Australians accept #mediocracy?
En attendant, les jardins situés entre le musée du Petit-Palais et la Concorde accueilleront bientôt le bouquet de tulipes de Jeff Koons , cette sculpture de fleurs multicolores de 10 m de haut et de 8 m de large offerte par l'artiste américain à la ville de Paris en hommage aux attentats de 2015. La production de l'œuvre a fait l'objet d'un appel au mécénat, coordonné par le Fonds pour Paris.
