#MolonLabe

Aside about “molon labe” :
en.wikipedia.org

Molon labe (Greek: μολὼν λαβέ molṑn lab; Ancient Greek: [molɔːn lab]; Modern Greek: [moˈlon laˈve]), lit. “come and take”, is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army’s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.

Is it just me, or does this RWNJ-appropriated slogan essentially argue for “Might makes Right”?

The speaker is taking the gamble that the entity coming to take whatever cannot do it, and that’s okay.

However, the other side of the gamble is that the entity could be strong/smart/lucky/sneaky/rich enough to do so. Are spouters of the phrase okay with the result in that case?

Also, pro-tip: Leonidas and the 300 died at Thermopylae, IIRC, and it was only a naval battle and a strategic withdrawal by the Persians that eventually led to the invasion being defeated.
