Let's discuss this line of thinking as a whole and this book in particular.
I had read this when I first came to nationalism in 2009 and liked it but thought it was pretty edgy. Fast forward to 2016, sick of these retarded plebs and wannabe aristocrats masturbating over Evola, who is one of the most overrated thinkers on the "right".
I decided instead of reading might is right to instead listen to an audio reading of it, as I don't have as much time to just sit reading as I used to. I only listened up until the middle of chapter 3, but I instantly remember why I liked this book so much and there were many things said in it which I looked over all those years ago.
You don't need to read Evola or any esoteric jargon to understand why things are the way they are or about the necessecity of heirarchy; the philosophy of Might is Right, nevermind this book, puts it in straight to the point terms and calls into question everything you ever believed.
Chapter 1 and 2 may seem like edgy rants, but given some deeper thought you realise that they are absolutely correct.
These portions especially stood out to me:
voices from the tomb. No doubt those old documents served their purpose at the time, but ‘new occasions teach new duties,’ and new ages require, not only new leaders, but new deeds. Again, most Acts of Congress are the Machiavellian work of eminent rogues, curse them whose very names are almost forgotten except by partisan chroniclers, and printers of public school histories.
I will give a warning, christians in particular might want to make sure they have a thick skin before they read it. It goes for any world outlook one holds dear to themselves as the etenral truth, but Redbeard holds nothing back against christians and christianity.

Life is a zero sum game.
This whole universe belongs to Darwin and the dual forces of causality and emergent behavior (I;e, limited numbers of components producing exponentially larger combinations of interaction and behavior)
The larger multiverse is ruled by inflationary expansion.
What existence is as a whole?
Who knows, maybe a plaything of God.
But he is a semi-indifferent God who seems only to exist to feast upon irony.
But, back on earth and in our local universe we have to play by much harsher rules.
This is true in any anarchic setting like internationally but domestically there are higher principles.
I disagree. The honor you bring and the beauty you create is worth more than the neutrality of not existing.

Isn't this the book that faggot Anton Levay plagiarized from to write his edgy Satanic Bible?
Daniel Ramirez
Doesn't this book reach complete individualism though? How is that in line with fascism?
Eli Collins
Oh of course. Metaphysics and the subjective is real.
Luis Hill
For those strong enough, the book is not meant to be an ego boost for everyone, but it has a message that you'd have to be mentally retarded not to understand it. It explains in the book how there are superiors and inferiors, how the vast majority of people do not know what true freedom is and even if they did they would seek to put someone into power or even 1000 men into power.
The book really just gives some straight facts of how the world works and how a leader should be.
David Cook
It is pretty much a treatise against the very concept of "equality".

Bumping with the image of the outcome, of two races existing on the same territory.
The red fox didn't just outcompete the snowfox by consuming its territory. It actively hunted it down and killed it. Just ponder the wider consequences of that.
Tyler Richardson
Materialist nonsense.
The political prescriptions inherent in the book are obvious, facile and simplistic. Anyone with the remotest understanding of history and politics will invariably come to similar conclusions, which is all fine and well.
Where it goes off the rails is when it starts to treat observable physical and historical facts as metaphysical truth when we KNOW it's not. Moral prescriptions made by the book are insane nihilistic raving, sprinkled with obvious physical and political truths to try and root it in reality.
The Ultimate redpill is not: Might Makes Right
The Ultimate redpill is: This world is indifferent to what is right.
When your wife is raped, screaming and crying in front of you as you are held down, helpless to do anything but watch, that doesn't make it "right". That makes it what's happening. Says nothing about what is "right".
Xavier Ramirez
Sounds like a cheap Stirner ripoff tbh.
Isaiah Long
hey look its the materialist cancer from the other thread!
edgy bullshit like this is just low-brow hard talk catered to people who really have no buisness reading philosophy anyway. this whole line of thinking is two steps removed from dialectical materialism and historical nihilism (aka the shit the jews used to destabilize our society).
nihilistic materialism is completely post-modern, this is foucalt tier edgy bullshit. the nation emanates from the blood which travels back in time through ancestors and it ultimately finds its basis in the purely abstract ideal realm. the blood is the proof of a higher realm.
Sebastian Brooks
good post, "might is right" is really a shitty gutter press publication.
the entire discussion of imposing ones will onto another being is far better explicated in hegel and nietzsche than in this garbage text.
from Kojeve, we can see the struggle of man (as a consciousness seeking mastery, wille zu macht,etc.) over the environment and other men (other consciousnesses competing with the original man's) as way that truth is established. truth is established through action. you are exactly right, "might doesn't make right", a defeated man does not believe his victor is right. in order to defeat the other "will to power"; the other consciousness, you have to effectively enslave them, not necessarily physically. you must enslave their "will to power" within the frameworks of your interpretations of reality, that is how truth is established. the whole game is faaaaaaar more complex than the gutter-press philosophy that OP posted makes it.

What do you think of the theory that Ragnar Redbeard is Arthur Desmond? Apparently their poetry is identical but I've never seen any examples. Imagine that though, Ragnar being a fucking militant socialist. I would believe that Might is Right is his true beliefs while socialism is an easy way to recruit radicals and an convenient excuse to murder, rape and rob the local rich people

I've seen a ton of anti-Evola content (((coincidentally))) appear all of a sudden with the +300 unique IDs and the endless anti-Trump posts.

You might be onto something here, user.

Individualism is the core of National Socialism, the development of the higher man who then intern supports the Nation which provided him with family and the means. Fuck off with your Italian pleb shit.

Go play Christian SIMS faggot and read the memes. Your Jew worship is not "spiritual" but a mental virus meant to enslave you.
Julian Price
WRONG AGAIN — CHRISTIANS FUCK UP ALL HUMAN WISDOM WITH THEIR DRUG ADDICTION TO LIES . What is "right" for you is bad for the ants at your picnic. What is "wrong" for man is often good for the ants. It's not some "world" hating your moral superiority, but your immoral beliefs hating life because you worship a delusion, a death cult, and prepare for the "afterlife" in Catholic wonderland.
Ian White
The shrillness is certainly telling.
The Nietzschean Overman ladies and gentlemen. Truly, an intellectually, physically, spiritually and morally superior being which transcends us petty humans.
I am humbled by your majesty. Freak.

If might is right then you should embrace communism But you already have, being a Jew.

And then Jews are so obvious

They really are user…but I still feel obligated to reply to some of the more obscene nonsense.
Lots 'o newbies these days, and they might buy this garbage.
Aaron King
Bullshit.
Ragnar Redbeard isn't saying "oh tough luck, the weak always loose and the strong always win, tough luck bro life isnt fair"
His entire point is that there is no good or evil, these are false morals pushed on you from birth by men who use your own morality to keep you down and the.ms elves is power. And great for them for doing so, because they are being strong and exercising powrt over the weak, albeit in a cowardly devcietful way.
All that matters in life is to have huge ambition and go about doing famous deeds and taking all the wealth and women of the world for your own.
Your morality is the creation of a beggar Asiatic Jew who did nothing of value with his life, and went around telling people that it was ok to be weak and poor and crippled. And the Romans brutally killed him like the scumbag loser he was.
William Davis
I'd just like to say, I'm an agnostic and I didn't find anything christian about the sentiments of the post under discussion, and the poster is, in fact, quite correct. Barring the possibility of the universe existing under a monotheistic paradigm with a single god who resembles Mars, Might does not, in fact, make right. At best, you can argue that "rightness" doesn't exist.
The two responses linked seem to have clung to a single MENTION of Christianity (not in the post, but in a picture) in a quote about morality which could be applied to almost any ethical system, religious or otherwise.
So I ask you, could you fedora-tipping edgelord faggots please stop making non-christian people look like the dumbest fucks in the room for two goddamn seconds? Or are you atheists/pagan/whatever rather than agnostic BECAUSE of your resemblance to feral, shit-flinging monkeys?
