  Might Is Right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might Is Right, or The Survival of the Fittest is a book by Ragnar Redbeard.
Might is Right is amazingly blunt in its agenda, though as Anton LaVey describes in his introduction, it contains "glaring contradictions." The book contains a harsh view of the world.
Ideas of moral right and wrong are dispensed with, save only that right which is founded upon the strength to make it so.

Instead of thinking that rights are granted to an entire group, a more accurate view of rights is that they are granted to individuals, because it is individuals, not groups, who are capable of suffering and dying.
While many people grant rights to some beings and not to others based only on the majority interpretation of their individual religious doctrine, secularists who accept that all humans have rights yet reject the idea that any non- human animals have rights must also be basing their moral code on faith.
Some attempt to discredit the entire animal rights movement as being comprised of "terrorists." This unfounded distortion is an attempt to ignore the moral issues surrounding the use and abuse of animals by focusing on a few acts of property destruction perpetrated by a small number of individuals.

But "Might" is put together well, and many other publications could learn from its inspiring use of fl and white, bi-color layout, which makes up the majority of the magazine.
The writers are witty, sarcastic, and sharp (I wouldn't recommend being on the receiving end of a "Might" satire or criticism).
Based on my experience, "Might" is the best manifestation of our generation and twenty-something culture that periodicals have to offer.

Right never does wrong, even when possessed of infinite power.
It is never to be trusted unless under the direction of Right.

 Might Makes Right:
Rights guide each individual member of the group to seek to satisfy his wants by harvesting from outside the group rather than from another member within the group.
Rights are found among: reapers harvesting a crop; hunters dividing their grounds; vikings raiding a village; legislators gathering pork.

Among the many causes of that victory was the indisputable fact that the right of private property was an essential prerequisite for prosperity.
In America, and wherever they were left alone by their governments to provide for themselves, decent free people created a bounty of mutually beneficial enterprise that left the planners and bureaucrats of socialist countries gasping in awe.

In America, one of the primary methods of choice in expanding government power and robbing people of their rights is to re-define the God-given the rights of the citizens.
Bill Clinton said it quite poignantly, “…we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.” First of all, Clinton was mistaken that the Constitution “gave” anybody any freedom.

 Andy Nowicki -- DOES WHITE PLUS MIGHT MAKE RIGHT?
Yet he also made it abundantly clear that in his world-view only the victor in a struggle had a right to dictate conditions, thus rendering his own objections to Germany's humiliation at the hands of her enemies effectively irrelevant.
Today's would-be Hitlers in the white-nationalist movement frequently commit a similar logical fallacy in their rhetoric; they promote a "might makes right" philosophy even as they profess outrage over an event such as the Wichita Massacre, in which "might" (if not "white") certainly prevailed.
Then again, a one-way sense of outrage (whereby one deplores one's enemy's evil acts while one excuses one's own) is, shall we say, highly convenient, especially for cynical politicians who stand to gain the most through such calculated disingenuousness.

 Bush at Sea - Does this war president have any idea what he's talking about? By Fred Kaplan
Either the statement means something—that we now reserve the right to wage pre-emptive war on a hostile power that has the mere capacity to make weapons of mass destruction—or it's empty blather.
Or at least Rumsfeld was right in the battlefield phase of the war.
Now, however, the president is asserting a right to strike first not merely if a hostile power has deadly weapons or even if it is building such weapons, but also if it might build such weapons sometime in the future.
