Godwin’s Law:
“As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler, 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.”
Like the fabled Murphy, from Murphy’s Law (Edward Murphy arguably paraphrased a mathematical theorem), Mike Godwin actually exists. He is still quite alive and kicking (the phrase was not uttered until 1990, as the internet was proving to be the land of modern trolls and not the philosophical paradise we all first imagined).
Mike Godwin, after the Charlottesville riot, proclaimed that, by all means, we should call these people Nazis.
As far as I am concerned, the leading legal mind on the subject (Mike Godwin is an attorney) has handed down a ruling. Nazi-ism has no place in the USA. This movement must be destroyed.
