Keep in mind, the Godwin Law really can’t be a law? Why? Because eventually it is certain to be wrong. Maybe in 50 years, maybe in 500, maybe in 5,000 years - sometime, somebody is going to be truly worse than the Nazis (call them the Potsies). At which point the law must fail; certainly at that point it must be acceptable to compare the Potsies to the Nazis, maybe you’d even be criticized for suggesting that ANYBODY could be as bad as the Potsies. That’s the “Godwins Law” relating to Potzism. So Godwins Law is a law that is bound to fail again and again. it’s not a good law, it’s more of a good rule-of-thumb.
