As a society we need to separate compassion for the weak from the promotion of weakness.
We need to get rid of the latter without sacrificing the former.

What I mean is that we should try to solve the problem of people being weak without building a society based on "might makes right".
Too often people fall into the trap of conflating the two concepts in the OP, leading either to people rejecting the concept of strength as "fascism" (left mistake) or actually supporting fascism (right mistake).

I'm not sure how to explain what I mean but what I said comes pretty close, I think.

You did explain it well! Everyone should just be given a chance, but those who perform worse shouldn't get unfairly rewarded for it, because it disincentivises them to perform better (they get rewarded anyway) and it disincentivises those who perform well (they don't get rewarded adequately).

And in no case it should turn into "who is more oppressed" competition that we often see now, and which is utter bullshit.
