#Unfairness

Nepotism is the social custom where lineage and connections, not merit or performance, become the paramount criteria for hiring and promotion. Under the glorious banner of fairness, a chosen few inherit positions of power in a spectacle as absurd as it is cynical. Meritocracy becomes a mere signboard as the true selection rule boils down to “who you know.” Claiming a merit-based society while favoring kin both through backdoors and official channels, this unwritten code is the shadow rule everyone acknowledges but pretends not to see. In the face of such a system, no amount of effort or talent can compete with the magical privilege of a family tree.
