Can you use an example? Thank you.

It means society ranks you based on the merit of your contributions.
If you’re a lazy fuckoff or mentally incompetent, you’re treated like dirt and there are no welfare or social programs to bail you out.
If you are naturally gifted or otherwise hardworking and develop skills the hard way, society rewards you with fancypants and lollipops.
The reason it’s a flawed system is because merit is subjective, and we still need to look out for our communities and offer a helping hand when people are in need, instead of shrugging and just saying, “well, they’ll have to work themselves out of that rut on their own”
