Forum de Rantburg: Godwin's Law
As I have seen these comparisons come up especially frequently on this discussion blog, often in capital letters but also increasingly by serious people, I wondered whether anyone here was familiar with Godwin's Law, which states:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
According to the Wikipedia article, which is linked as the source, this law has become an increasingly ingrained meme in internet culture. An interesting article, with plenty of good links to related articles.
Discuss.
