Ich weiß, ich weiß, das ist nicht fair, Godwin's Law und so weiter, und auch sonst stimmt das in keinem Punkt, aber in einem sind sich #Hitler und #Merz gleich: wenn die Sache schief geht, ist das deutsche Volk schuld, es war zu schwach für den starken Chef.

@TheBreadmonkey Ya know, you could have gone with Charlie Chaplin or Oliver Hardy, but no. Invoking Adolf Hitler and starting out with Godwin's Law is somehow funnier than actual comedians.

Pluralistic: The Nuremberg Caucus (10 Feb 2026)

Several times now, I experienced discussions that reached a point where someone replied with "But ChatGPT says..." and screenshot. Usually it went downhill from there.
Is this the new Godwin's Law?

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of someone posting the result of an LLM prompt approaches one."

"Godwin’s Law expired last Friday with the publication of the Trump regime’s 'National Security Strategy of the United States of America.' …

None of this is surprising except that it was finally said out loud. Smart people, and also people like me, noticed. So we have just now started calling this, simply, Nazism."

"Friends, we are gathered here together to mourn the death of Godwin’s Law, the wry, venerated staple of modern-world wisdom, which is summarized thus:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. The person who first mentions Nazis or Hitler loses the argument."

@SchreibeEinfach Da hat doch @sarahbosetti auch neulich eine Folge "Bosetti will reden" zum Thema gemacht: https://youtu.be/eSGwuru09D0 Find ich gut, dass das jetzt langsam im Mainstream-Bewußtsein ankommt, dass "woke" kein Schimpfwort ist (oder sein sollte). Bzw. frei nach Godwin's Second Law: Wer "woke" als Schimpfwort benutzt, wird sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit als Arschloch herausstellen. #woke #GodwinsLaw #wokism

Ah, the internet's favorite pastime: comparing everything to Nazi Germany 🤦‍♂️. Because nothing screams insightful discourse like invoking Godwin's Law faster than you can say "Heil, math!" 📚🔨. Meanwhile, Florida's busy banning math books because, you know, algebra is the real threat to democracy.

This is because internet trolls who fail #GodwinsLaw are in charge.

Hey, anyone remember #GodwinsLaw?

Those were the days, eh?

I think it's time to retire Godwin's Law.

I still believe that this is his MO - #Trump knows that you die twice, once when your brain activity stops, and then again when your name is spoken for the last time...

He wishes himself immortal.

And this is his only realistic chance of achieving it.

@sixtus
Ich bin wirklich kein Fan von Herr #Merz, aber die Phrase Leistungswille im gleichen Satz wie KZ zu führen, schreit für mich nach #GodwinsLaw.

@noelreports

Yes, Herr Ribbentrop is his role model in dealing with Russians!

Or perhaps, as Czech, I can contemplate how appeasement always persuade an aggressor to stop their attack. That would be actually his predecessor as a moral role model. “Peace for our time!”

I know, #GodwinsLaw , but he really asks for it!

@SETSystems I propose a deal: I edit brackets around the dot for the source in that toot and all further toots linking to that site, and you replace the hashtag you use for the Birdsite with something not referencing a mass murderer. Deal? #godwinslaw

@Green_Footballs the horrific book "Mein Kampf" was also out in the public. Nobody took it seriously as it was just so much out of touch with reality.

@KraftTea I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about, but I’m calling it. Thanks and good bye #godwinslaw @mnot

Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you.

Yes, it's that Mike Godwin, who Godwin's Law is named after.

One shouldn't make a comparison to Hitler or Nazis lightly. Don't make it as a diversion, or hyperbole, or lob it in bad taste deliberately to shut-down a debate. Reserve it for when you really mean it. He means it.

#Trump #Nazi #GodwinsLaw

@steevc He doesn't want to win; he's already stated he wants to be second. He, like I, fully expects Labour to win.

I suspect his 'plan' is focused on 2030, not 2024, by which time he hopes to have assimilated all the Tory MPs into his party so that he can win almost every seat when Labour fucks everything up.

I wonder if Farage is like Hitler? Telling us everything he intends to do, but people are so busy hating him that they're not listening?

#GodwinsLaw

Whilst I'm sure there may be interesting technical challenges with the development of racist ultra right wing web platforms, I'm not going to talk about them, or platform the people working with them.

#Nazi analogies are #fallacies that use the extremely negative perception that #Hitler and National Socialism (Nazism) have in the modern world to boost someone's opinions.

• Reductio ad Hitlerum is, basically, the premise that "everything Hitler supported must be bad and everything Hitler was against must be good". Hitler's opinions serve as the sole parameter to judge something's desirability or morality. The reason this is idiotic is because Hitler wore pants, so by this logic wearing pants makes one a fascist.

• Godwin’s Law, itself a response to reductio ad Hitlerum, asserts that the longer an online discussion grows, the greater are the odds of someone mentioning Hitler or the Nazis. It is something one can verify by oneself and that demonstrates how common such analogies are. Godwin only heard of Leo Strauss' coining of the fallacy 4 decades after he himself had proposed it.
