- bsder 3y agoGodwin's Law never accounted for the fact that we would need to deal with actual Nazis ever again. Even Godwin, himself, acknowledges that if the comparison fits, it's perfectly fine.

Not really, that's your personal awareness of white supremacists and "Nazi" adjacent groups coming into play. They haven't really been hiding at all, membership has maintained hundreds to thousands for decades in the officially recognized organizations. Godwin was also not ignorant of these groups. There is simply no need to be hyperbolic about things. > Even Godwin, himself, acknowledges that if the comparison fits, it's perfectly fine. OK.
