Godwin’s Law (also Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. It is particulary concerned with logical fallacies such as reductio ad Hitlerum, wherein an idea is unduly dismissed or rejected on ground of it being associated with persons generally considered “evil”.
The law states:
“As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”

I’ve always hated Godwin’s Law. I never saw why an analogy to hitler is any less valid than an analogy to stalin or even elizabeth bathory.
