Re Godwin's Law, it's entirely rational that these mentions of Hitler should come up so often.

Political discussion online seems remarkably prone to people making silly bloody generalisations and statements of breathtaking stupidity. How does one tackle a generalisation? You take it to an extreme and show how it doesn't work. What's the most extreme political example most of us can think of? Hitler.

Now, if only there were fewer stupid blusterers online, the rest of us wouldn't have to keep bringing up Adolf.
