What is the name of the law where eventually the longer an internet forum conversation goes on someone will inevitably blame the 'casuals'?
It's arrogance of youth to throw around that Hitler kid's book meme or shouting "Godwin" whenever someone mentions Hitler in an argument. The crazy idea that we have evolved so completely as a species - in only a little over half a century no less - that we could never make the same mistake again, or this other idea that Hitler is almost mythological in nature and nothing could compare to his monstrous legacy of evil. The further we get from the generation that actually lived in Hitler's time, the more kids think of Hitler and Nazi Germany in abstracts and quasi-fiction.
I mean, there are times when that kind of response to it makes sense. When someone call someone Hitler simply because they dislike them, absolutely. But if someone's making a genuine comparison, you need to maybe listen and consider the point.
