Godwin On Life Support
There’s a fit of violation of Godwin’s law so severe, it may go down in the anals of the innertubes:
No analogies yet, just a lame attempt at summarizing a rather complicated history by cramming it into a left-wing narrative.
Oh, the poor communists. See, this was all about the big bad industrialists, and the poor working class dolt who was too stupid to realize that his intellectual betters were trying to save him from himself.
If that doesn’t qualify as the mother of all Godwin bangs, I don’t know what does. The odd thing is, I think this sorry individual actually believes this stuff. This is really very offensive stuff here; but I’ve come to the conclusion that this individual is missing the mental firepower to see what a banal, sophomoric load of narrative parroting this is.
But never forget. This narrative is offensive on many levels, to many groups, not the least of which are the Holocaust victims themselves.
And Reggie, if you want to come over here and throw turds, to quote your master, bite me.
Ludwig with his Brown people comment. He is a racist since most Hispanics are White. Plus there are Italians, Greeks and Jews who lokk Brown. If he means Muslims, well many of them are White or Asian.

Good grief!!!!!
Fox News is like the nazi’s???? Hey and those Creationist’s too!
As far as the first part of this essay by ‘some thoughts on American nazism’…..
well this is indeed preztel logic and dare I may say, “utter and I do mean complete and utter bullshit!”
And after thinking a second ludwig’s post is utter bullsit too.
Oh Holy scribberhea !! LvQ thinks he knows something and it bubbles out of him nonsensically.
Point one to three fits for every political party.
Take for example point 3) and Obama’s slogan “Hope and Change”. This slogan implies that the current state is hopeless and has to be changed.
Point 4) – no, the homosexuals weren’t one of the first victims neither were “immigrants”. Only the “Roehm Putsch” 1934 was justified with the homosexuality of Roehm and some of his henchmen. But this didn’t lead to a German wide hunt after homosexuals.
Immigrants too weren’t the target of the Nazis. Only Jewish immigrants from Eastern countries were classified as “dangerous” immigrants. During the 19th century millions of immigrants from Eastern countries came to Germany. Only the leaders of the “Polish Party” in Germany were sent to concentration camps short before the Germans started WWII with the invading of Poland.
Point 5) – LvQ, the history genius, should be familiar with immigration laws in the USA during the first decades of the 20th century, shouldn’t he?

Point 6) Wagner was only the expression not the source of the mythical “German race” of National Socialism.
Point 7) That point is simply insane. The whole point doesn’t make any sense.
Point 8) The same could be said of the Communists: Fascists were everywhere. The two main ideologies of the 20th century – two sides of the same coin – were fighting for hegemony. Both equal murderous and dangerous.
Point 9) Rewriting history and silencing intellectuals were not specific to the Nazis. May I remind LvQ of the former Soviet Union or China ? In China it works till today (including burning books and writings).
Point 10) Sorry, no. It was an elitist movement.
Point 11) Please read:

LvQ should read more about the history of laws against homosexuals. Even in the early 1950’s in Britain yearly thousands of British men were sued because of their homosexuality.
The rest is hysterical and insane.
Gosh. It takes all of three comments for this fool to diddle Godwin again:
Channelling Beavis & Butthead:
Heheheh… you said “anals,” not “annals.” Heheheh.
I’ll leave it to you to decide if that was intentional or not. Heheheheh.
Historical accuracy is not important. History is how it makes you feel. It is how it makes you look. Does it bring out the highlights in your heart? Think of history as a background you create for your personality. Way more than an accessory – it gives you your personal context, so that people can see you as want to be seen at a deep level. If you need to use the Shoah to tell the world how sensitive you are to evil, you go, girl!
Unlike Jews, and later gypsies, homosexuals were not targeted for extermination. No death camps were built to murder homosexuals en masse. In point of fact, while male homosexuals were imprisoned (along with political dissidents, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and many others whom the Nazi regime regarded as enemies), lesbians were never targeted. Furthermore, the best figures show that there were, perhaps, some 15,000 or so people identified as homosexual who were carted off to slave-labor camps because of their sexual proclivities at most.
Was this an injustice? Surely. Was it brutal? Yes, indeed. But it hardly compares to the Nazi treatment of Jews even before the Final Solution was implemented. The efforts by the homosexual lobby to conflate the treatment of homosexuals under the Nazi regime with that of the Jews is a politically-correct fraud.
In point of fact, the physically handicapped (a group the he didn’t even mention) were the one group targeted for extermination before the Jews. But that doesn’t support the narrative. Facts must yield to narrative.
It’s pretty evident to me at this point that Lud is but a garden-variety communist, and everything he utters, including all the climate propaganda, is only for the propose of supporting that.
