Godwin’s Law is essentially an excuse to act like a fascist without being called out for it. It sounds good on paper if you’re a Nazi apologist. Truth is, eventually every conversation on the internet will attract Nazis, and said Nazis will be butthurt when they are discovered as the Nazis they are.

I still do not believe it was about yard waste.

Godwin's Law is part of the problem. While the EFF was protecting the sexualized, detailed torture threats on the Internet (please google Jake Baker) as protected speech, they also aggressively pushed Godwin's Law. So any threats to women are protected speech but calling a Nazi a Nazi makes you a looooser. You can draw a direct line to protection of threats and hate speech -- as long as they are adequately sexualized - of Jake Baker to Gamergate. Godwin's Law is now and always has been bullshit.

Some directors will allow the actors to pick their own lines (because they don't give a rip how their movie plays on shitty basic cable channels), they just need to match syllable count and general consonant-to-vowel flow. That's how "Monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane" happened. Goodman probably came up with it himself.

Godwin himself has said that his law is currently suspended for Trump.

So why don't more MSJ's call the Admin out on such lies and misinformation? It's really discouraging how many lies are placed out there by this Admin that go unchallenged.

What I’m talking about is no abstract concept. It’s possibly happening right now. Marx predicted capitalism would destroy itself. And the world as we see it right now is quite likely what happens when society more or less worships money. You get extreme concentration of capital and then the people with the capital use it to erode democracy. That is exactly what we have now.

That’s not relevant to our immediate circumstances, though, really. I'm talking about relieving the trauma of real kids in real cages, not some academic abstract.

Bagnole's avatar

And Marx predicted it long before that even.

Bingo. Well after they realized the power of Facebook and other social media to brainwash their followers into believing anything.

But nobody delete Facebook or anything.

A conservative wants that too but wants the 1% to get all the profits and then pass the losses onto us.

You're right, very similar dicks.

The isn't much difference between a Conservative and a Libertarian. They believe in the same malignant things but the Libertarian wants to be able to legally smoke dope.
