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
