godwinning

The act of comparing literally EVERYTHING with Nazi, Hitler, or any ideas behind it (fascism and discrimination, such as racism, sexism, ableism, etc.)

This term taken from Godwin's law (an internet examples of Reductio ad Hitlerum)

Godwinning is dangerous in two ways:
1. It desensitizing people about Nazism real harm, because it's easy to compare everything with Nazi, right?
2. It promotes echo chamber and kills democracy since godwinning is a perfect form of censorship which blocks and shuts down any dissenting opinion, thus expect any groupthink or opinionated, close minded people, or even worse: Totalitarian and Orwellian society when your behaviours are dictated to the very detail
3. It didn't solve anything. Want a difable friendly place? Build it. Want a gender and sex equal zone? Start it by stop making rape jokes---Godwinning is a perfect example of slacktivism

Godwin's Second Law

Many people know of Godwin's Primary Law; as an arguement becomes more heated, the likely-hood of references to Nazi's and/or Hitler increases. His secondary law is that; as the likely-hood of Nazi's and/or Hitler being mentioned in a thread, in direct reference to his Primary law, increases, so to must the chances of his own law being referred to. This will usually have little effect on the actual thread and will merely result in minor lulz.

Godwin's Fourth Law

Godwin's fourth law is a term created by Godwin fans, not mr. Godwin himself. The term means that the longer you talk with a conservative, the more likely he is to bring cops and soldiers into the discussion, and compare them with the currently debated subject, even if the comparison seems outright impossible or not making any sense at all.

I was talking with John the other day, about these poor abandoned cats at the animal shelter. The guy invoked Godwin's fourth law and said that soldiers aren't treated any better when they come back home. It's hard to understand him sometimes.
