Chumocracy (noun)

Meaning: A system or situation where friends, close associates, or a privileged inner circle get power, opportunities, positions, or benefits—rather than people being chosen purely on merit.

It comes from “chum” (a close friend) + “-cracy” (rule or system of government).

Simple meaning

Chumocracy = rule/governance by friends or an influential circle of friends.

Examples

* “The company has become a chumocracy, with all the top positions going to the CEO’s friends.”
* “It’s not meritocracy anymore; it’s chumocracy.”
* “Politics can sometimes turn into a chumocracy, where connections matter more than competence.”
* “Welcome to the chumocracy—where knowing the right people beats knowing the right things.” 😏

Inanity means the quality of being silly, foolish, pointless, or lacking in sense or meaning. It often refers to ideas, arguments, comments, conversations, or behaviour that are absurdly empty or unintelligent.

Pronunciation: ih-NAN-uh-tee /ɪˈnænəti/

Your examples work well:

* “I’m astonished at the inanity of your arguments.”
→ Your arguments are so foolish/empty that I’m amazed by them.
* “I think the inanity is deliberate.”
→ I think the silliness or absurdity is intentional.
* “You might as well enjoy the inanity of the movie.”
→ Since the movie is so silly and nonsensical, you might as well enjoy its silliness.

A few more natural examples:

* “I couldn’t believe the inanity of the discussion.”
* “The article was filled with political inanity.”
* “There was something strangely entertaining about the inanity of the show.” by @vaakology
