The corollary to Godwin's law is that the first person to bring up the Nazis automatically loses the argument.

- PavlovsCat 13y agoA law and a corollary are still two distinct things. What people like to claim Godwin's law says, it doesn't actually. And that one is just one of many corollaries (not "the corollary") many random people made up because they could, and which I reject because they have no basis in valid reasoning. After all, the only argument here is "someone said that". Why do people who believe nonsense on someone elses say-so object to Nazi comparisons? Well, well ^^
- solistice 13y ago"The Nazis and the Soviets both used intimidation tactics to further their political power". Ohhh...it seems I have lost the argument. Horrible pity, really.
- drharris 13y agoWe need a new law that states whoever brings up Godwin's Law without Nazis being mentioned also loses the argument.
