I encapsulate this with two related axioms.

"dissent is custodian of consent"
"might is custodian of rights"

That's quite different from saying "might is right". "custodian" is meant to indicate a role of guardianship, care and nuture. Rights are derived from the mutual willingness to take "no" for an answer. Might is necessary in order to safeguard one's rights. If that willingness is no longer mutual, then violence is the only remaining recourse. An obvious example of this would be the 1st and 2nd amendments to the US constitution. The 1st allows you to express dissent without reprisal. The 2nd allows you to back it up when others (particularly the government) try to abrogate that or any other natural right.

@amerika @sun @toiletpaper >nietzsche was right
>plato was right
Nietzche proved Plato was wrong. He also proved that reading philosophy is for faggots. Thats why he called it the gay science.
