I don't understand your question MMW

2019-11-11 03:35:07 UTC  

might makes right and will to power

2019-11-11 03:35:59 UTC  

well 'might makes right' is a weird statement to begin with, its a bad way of phrasing it - what 'might makes right' properly means is that regimes of power influence and establish systems of justice

2019-11-11 03:36:46 UTC  

nothing else matters

2019-11-11 03:36:49 UTC  

there is a class of ruled and rulers

2019-11-11 03:36:53 UTC  

<:Yes:639977935209627658>

2019-11-11 03:36:54 UTC  

no one can do anything about it

2019-11-11 03:37:13 UTC

I don't even think that I'd agree with the statement 'Might Makes Right' except as a kind of recognition that moralizing won't get you anywhere by itself

2019-11-11 03:38:58 UTC  

while regimes of power decide what justice is, people still have their own ideas about it

2019-11-11 03:39:10 UTC  

wouldn't if just mean that the strong are the ones who decide what is "good" and what is "bad

2019-11-11 03:39:12 UTC  

they decide how to execute justice I should say

2019-11-11 03:39:18 UTC  

that war is eternal

2019-11-11 03:39:19 UTC  

and those two things are related but not identical

2019-11-11 03:39:31 UTC  

Might makes right means that telling Tyrone he's low IQ and needs to leave won't stop him from shooting you for the contents of your wallet

2019-11-11 03:39:38 UTC  

So you need to be stronk

2019-11-11 03:39:40 UTC  

Go gym

2019-11-11 03:39:42 UTC  

just like "winners write history books"
and we all know that our history books aren't always correct, but there it is

2019-11-11 03:39:52 UTC  

Also get guns in case of 🍫 people

2019-11-11 03:40:00 UTC  

'Might Makes Right' is not actually a statement about what is right or wrong

2019-11-11 03:40:12 UTC  

as an aphorism, its talking about a social phenomenon

2019-11-11 03:40:23 UTC  

yes

2019-11-11 03:40:25 UTC  

the influence that the rulers have over the social ideal of justice

2019-11-11 03:40:29 UTC  

and the execution of justice

2019-11-11 03:40:29 UTC  

i thought people knew that

2019-11-11 03:40:30 UTC  

@Leaf no just whipping tyrone out

2019-11-11 03:40:47 UTC  

What?

2019-11-11 03:40:54 UTC  

Str3tch, some people take it to mean that being powerful really is what is good

seeing black...... no attack?

2019-11-11 03:41:04 UTC  

fascinating

2019-11-11 03:41:07 UTC  

or that the opinion of the ruler really is what is right

2019-11-11 03:41:08 UTC  

<:kekboi:417880491182653450>

2019-11-11 03:41:22 UTC  

I really don't understand what you're trying to say

2019-11-11 03:41:29 UTC  

That we should assault minorities?
