Godwin's law/Dark Pluto/Cola War

Dear all Godwin's law is an adage that states that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches. In other words, if you argue with someone online long enough, they will eventually compare you to Hitler. Here are two examples of Godwin's law in action: Example 1: In a discussion about the merits of socialism, one person argues that socialism is a dangerous ideology that will lead to the rise of a totalitarian state. Another person responds by comparing the person to Hitler, saying that they are "just like Hitler" for wanting to implement socialism. Example 2: In a discussion about the current political climate, one person argues that the other side is "literally Hitler." This person is using the comparison to Hitler as a way to dismiss the other side's arguments and to make them seem like they are evil. It is important to note that Godwin's law is not meant to be taken seriously. It is simply a way of pointing out that comparisons to Hitler are often used as a way to derail an argument or to make someone seem like they are evil. Here are some tips for avoiding Godwin's law: Avoid making comparisons to Hitler unless they are truly warranted. If you are going to compare someone to Hitler, make sure that you have a good reason for doing so. Don't just use the comparison as a way to dismiss someone's arguments or to make them seem like they are evil. Be respectful of your opponents. Even if you disagree with someone, it is important to be respectful of their opinions. Don't resort to name-calling or insults. Focus on the issues. Don't get sidetracked by personal attacks or irrelevant comparisons. Stay focused on the issues at hand. **One Video I Enjoyed** How dark is it on Pluto. **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** How to make will.
