Do you really accept that ‘might makes right’? I don’t believe you. You might say so tapping away on your keyboard, but when you go out into the world do you live that way? When you’re in the school cafeteria and some big kid comes over and steals your lunch, do you just accept it because he’s bigger? When you’re out riding your motorcycle down the highway and some jerk in a big monster truck looks over at you and grins and then proceeds to cut you off so that you have to lay down your bike, do you just grin and bear it because his truck was bigger than your bike? If you were a Frenchman in WWII and the Nazis are taking over the countryside and they bust down your door, steal your cattle to feed themselves and abuse your wife and children, would you have just said, “Oh well. They got the guns; it must be alright.” Really?? Mere might NEVER makes right.
Of course not. I'm talking about simple societies which adhere to simple rules. In the context of a primitive tribe I meant they would usually adhere to a "might makes right" rule.
