    I think Godwin’s Law died out around the time the actual Nazis came back. It’s actually sort of difficult to talk about some elements of politics and media in the present day without referring to the historical parallels, and one particular parallel is absolutely significantly more parallel than the others.

    But you don’t have to justify to me, man. You can abandon the conversation at any point you feel that that’s what you want to do. All the best.
