    I didn't want to jump there immediately, but there's definitely nascent fascism in the messaging when you really analyze it. If we are to say that wealth over time is a measurement of merit, what are old money families? People who just have hereditary superiority? Wouldn't racial disparities in income therefore also be racial disparities in merit? And the same for sex, gender conformity, etc. The hierarchy of income lines up with social oppression (because intersectionality represents the facets of class oppression), so they are basically claiming that the cishet white dudes have some sort of underlying superiority to everyone else (along with Jewish and East Asian people, so you can see why The Bell Curve is so popular among fascists).
