Godwin's law (or Godwin's rule of Hitler analogies) is an Internet adage that asserts that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches" —that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or his deeds.

Nazi flags, Nazi solutes, Nazi armbands, Nazi chants.
It's not really about comparing them to Nazis, they came out plainly as Nazis.

It isn't comparing when they act like Nazis, have the same ideology as Nazis, and identify as Nazis

Yes, surely it must be a logical fallacy to compare neonazis to nazis. /s

For Nazi sympathizers to get offended when they're called Nazis must require the most insane mental gymnastics imaginable.
Nazi: < *carries Nazi flag* >
Counter-protester: "You're a Nazi fascist!"
Nazi: "Go ahead and keep calling me a Nazi. It just pushes me further right! This is why you lost the election!"
Fuck off.

Well they were literally carrying swastika flags around and doing the nazi salute. I don't think "comparing" them to nazis quite hits the mark.

Always bothered me to see nazi pieces of shit using the 'godwin's law' thing in such an intellectually dishonest way.
Bookmarking this for the next time one of them tries it.

Replies ITT: "They weren't Nazis! Nazis did things like the Nazi salute and wear armbands with swastikas on them and advocate white supremacy! These guys do that, but that doesn't make them Nazis!"

I feel like the game of life glitched out roughy twelve to eighteen months ago and we are just running around, laughing at all the gameplay hacks and software gore.

"Godwin's law because 'Nazi' . . . "
Literally fucking Neo-Nazis.
This isn't Godwin's law, these are facts.

I'm a Brit living in Canada.
President trump said he will pay the legal fees of those who are violent towards protestors.
So you can use all the .contrarian rhetoric about free will you like, but when the leader of a nation normalizes political violence it has a knock on effect of normalizing political violence within said nation's citizenry. Pretty simple.
