Might is Right: The Authoritative Edition | Ragnar Redbeard, Arthur Desmond

“He is pre-eminently, the prophet of unreason—the preacher of rabble-rabies. All that is enervating and destructive of manhood, he glorifies,—all that is self-reliant and heroic, he denounces.“

April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?

Suet624 Yay for Anam Cara. I‘ve only read A Separate Peace (as a teenager) out of the three and I liked it. (edited) 3h
TheBookHippie I like them all 👀🤫🙃 2h
BarbaraJean @Suet624 I'm really looking forward to Anam Cara. It's been on my list for so long and it's nice to have the “assignment“ to read it! @TheBookHippie Good news is I'll be reading them all at some point before the end of the year!! 1h
TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean literal DECADES since my reading of them 😂 1h

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 4h
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 4h

Yes I was. I was such a reader that by the time I left elementary school I had read everything in the library, even the encyclopedia. In high school I struggled with certain aspects of math.

This book is good for the moment, but it won't stick with you.

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 3d

I got some new friends while we were reading. The top two are the same octopus, just reversed. The green side glows in the dark. The red one is much smaller and can actually sit on your shoulder via a little magnetic disk.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie well, the reverse of the glow in the dark one is like “don‘t make me flip this octopus around. I will release the pissed off octopus if you want to push it.” 🤣😂🤣 3d

quietlycuriouskate I didn't know till now that I needed a reversible octopus. Well, I'm all for lifelong learning! 2d
GingerAntics @quietlycuriouskate right? It comes indifferent colors, but one is happy and one is mad, so it‘s perfection. 2d
kspenmoll Cute!!! 2d

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 3d
DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 3d
vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 3d
AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 1d
staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 1d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 4h
