Culture and Respect

[kılıç_mehmet]

Conquerors, as the conquerors they are, do have the right to claim moral superiority and do reserve the right to enact laws as they see fit.

Oh, gee, now I understand Africa AND the Nazis! They were right all along!

Well, might makes right, friend. It always did, and it still does so. History proves it.

Of course, he was a bit of a dick, too.

Well, if you have bothered with conquering a people, you obviously would enact a few laws to show that you did so.
The Manchus, for example, forced the chinese to wear their hair in the queue style, and adopt their clothing as a sign of their domination.

Kilics definition of rights appears to be in the form of "might makes right"

Well, in terms of war, that is the only form of "right" there is, unless you get a third party involved, who has to be mightier than both sides in order to decide what is right.
So in a way, yes, might makes right, my friend. Its the law of nature.
