On Godwin's Law

There is a widespread practice on the internet of comparing people who disagree with you to late German dictator Adolf Hitler, or national socialists in general. This argument is inherently unsound, not simply due to insufficient evidence that the accused person is a nazi, but the underlying premise appears to be that "nazis are bad", when it is well established that Hitler did nothing wrong.

If anyone compares you to Hitler, or if you see someone else being compared to Hitler in an internet argument, remind them that he was a great man and that their accusation only strengthens your position. Thank you, and have a lovely day. :^)
