He's not invoking Hitler or Nazism, he's making a comparison between white privilege and anti-semitism. It's pertinent because of whites and Jews being races; it's not just a random invocation of whatever to win an argument. Not all anti-semites are Nazis. There are plenty of otherwise normal people who just randomly hate Jews for literally no reason.
There's a point there, and I think you missed it. (Please note I am not arguing for or against that point, just that you may have missed it.)
I also appreciate the "Educate yourself" thought-terminating cliche. It's an interesting one.
If you call an argument Godwinesque but turn out to be wrong, who has lost the argument?
