Hi, let me introduce you to Godwin's Law, because you're apparently new to arguing on the internet. Sadly, at this time, you have lost any possible good faith as your argument is dumb.
While it's certainly overused, and that is trivializing and harmful; turning nazi comparisons into an immediate eye roll is also harmful.
I can't even count how many times leading up to 2024 that I tried explaining to people the glaring similarities between Hitler's rise to power, his ideology, propaganda, and intentions, and those of the nascent trump administration; and people would just write me off as some hyperbolizing troglodyte.
Now we're in 2026 and people are finally starting to see the similarities. Too late.
Of course, the user you're responding to is an idiot and misapplying the analogy by making an overly broad generalization intended to harm the unionizing movement. So that's pretty asinine and contributes to the eye-roll phenomenon.
But I still question how helpful this "Godwin's Law" is as a concept. Seems like something the Knesset would use to evade nazi comparisons...
