Might Makes Me Right?

I can kick your ass and beat you into a bloody pulp! I'am far more bigger than most of you and have enough energy and power to dominate all of you. I should be leader because I'am above you all! No one can contradict me. I have many men and women who obey and follow my orders. I have conquer them and thus I govern them. My strenght is enough to dominate any opponent. If you dare challenge me I will defeat you! My confidence is supported by my mighty strength. Cunning games or tricks will not work on me. I'm far too smart to be fooled by anyone.

Only a more powerful person than me can be my master. If such a person even exist in this world. I will challenge him or her and defeat them. I will not yield to no one. I'd much but rather perish than to be rule by someone else.

I rule! I dominate! I control you!

WD now begs the question.....Having power gives me the right to rule?

Quit scaring me...

Superiority might not grant you rightful domination in the view of the public, but as long as no-one is able to stop you, you get away with it.
It has been done many times in history.

Yes might makes right (at least in the eyes of the mighty)

As Brutish and savage as the first post appears...it is a strong determination to dominate others. It is basically the philosophy of the Brute Warrior. It is a strong will which desires to conquer and to be superior.

Don't we all strive to survive? Don't we all encounter challenges that requires us to be aggresive? Are we really savage creatures?

Mercy is for the weak.

This Power does not exist, Power is an illusion grasped by fear, denial, and manipulation among other things....you control your people because with these tools, you need these people incase someone actually challenges you, you can use your people to fight them for you, if someone gets your people against you, you are screwed....that person will challenge you, your arragance will be destroyed, your confidence shattered, leaving your strength shakened, but this would be more likely to happen if a better leader took on you and your people in battle, your people would fight, but once they started to lose they would blame you, and the other leader would confirm your failure, leaving you to your doom

It gives the ability to rule, not the right. Very different areas.

Ush, but for the brute warrior it makes no difference. Rule and right are basically the same to him/her. Those who oppose or challenge it are bound to be in a confrontation. How can the weak overcome the mighty?

wuTa I love your post. Very true 👆

It doesn't matter what makes no difference to him though, does it? The question isn't about what he recognises, it is about if he has the right. And no, he doesn't.

Actually it does Ush. It is the rule of the mighty and strong. The intellectual or any other well educated person cannot dictate to the brute ruler. What he/she dictates is the rule for everyone.

Errr, no, they don't get to set universal concepts like 'right'. Humanity has rather long since worked out that right to rule comes from mandate of the people, not brute force.

So no matter what this guy believes, and no matteer what he does, and no matter how long he sits in power... he still didn't have the right to do any of it. He just did it anyway.

Let me keep playing Devil's advocate just for discussion purposes.....

If you and I were to enter into their world. We would have to abide by their rule. No matter how much the two of us oppose such a fiend. It is his/her turf we're entering. Universally for them the rule and right is the same.

Is it wise to challenge the rule of such a Brutish Ruler? No, Ush...it wouldn't be. And it is not fear...it is common sense to obey but never agree. Not all battles are won by force. In a world in which the brute rules and makes his/her right whatever it pleases. We can't challege it physically.

But nothing you just said there makes the slightest difference at all to what I said.

Again, you asked if he had the right, not if he could be resisted.

And again, just because he thinks strength gives him the right to rule, does not make him correct.

.....I pull a gun out and blow your brains out. I now rule 😄

Doesn't give you the right to rule, but certainly the chance to do.

I agree. And unfortunately thats how everything works in our society.

You wish

Ush is right it doesn't give you the right, but nothing gives you the right to rule over other people, not even a democracy which is all based on tricks deceit and lies, and where the most powerful still rules. Not the strongest but the most powerful with words and idea's.

This guy doesn't have the right to rule over others, nobody has that right. However he has a greater right to rule over the people then others that did not grab power, and those that can not take it from him. The strongest rule thats how it has always been and probably will always be. It may not be right, but it is how it is.
