Winning - the rules
When one party to a debate likens the other to Hitler, the other party has won. But invoking Godwin's Law means that you lose and the Hitler-comparer wins. But then Winning Isn't Everything.
Interesting possible areas of application
Vegetarianism is something that Hitler would have done. Did do, actually. Hitler thought it was morally wrong to kill animals for food.
Interesting test case. See Hitler The Vegetarian.
Hitler also believed in a Third Reich. Did he only have himself to blame?
Actually, Hitler did his best to persuade his fellow Germans to avoid the Third Reich.
But more later than earlier. See Selling And Compelling.
