Once upon a time it was verboten to accuse someone of Nazism.
Has that been rescinded?
No, it is not permitted. It is a violation of Godwin’s Law and is not permitted. Members are encouraged to immediately flag any instance where a member makes a comparison to Nazis or Hitler for moderator review.

It does seem to be the accusation of left leaning folk du jour.
It’s always….
Nazi this….
Gestapo that…
And of course the most ignorant comparison of all.
The whole “concentration camps “ reference.

Concentration camps are not exclusive to NAZIs.
Che Guevara used a soccer stadium.
Nobody is calling anybody a NAZI. Fascists are fascists. And the historical parallels are there.

We now have military policing in DC even though the crime rate is the lowest there in 30 years. American citizens will be summarily hauled away to…?
Hell the modern concentration camp is a Spanish and British invention of the late 19th century in Cuba and what became modern South Africa. The Germans didn’t get in on it until the 1930s.
We also played a big role developing the concept in the Philippines in the early 20th century.

Be careful with that counter revolutionary talk comrade.
I’ve personally never cared about the Godwin’s Law violations because nazi this and gestapo that is the same tired tripe as racist this and phobic that.
It doesn’t mean ■■■■past a talking point anymore.
No, we don’t.
And Godwin’s law especially applies when people tell obivous untruths like that.
There will be a Moderator’s Note pinned to the top of the topics page within a few days. It will cover Godwin’s Law and the increase in personal attacks that have been growing in frequency on the board. It will be posted after I and the other Mods agree on its content.

No it is not. The problem in DC besides a homeless tent squatting population is juvenile crime. 14 y/os carjacking, assault, rape and robbery at gunpoint? At hours after 11 PM?? When apprehended prosecuted in juvenile court where they know there are no consequences. BS
You must have missed it. Declaring a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia – The White House Declaring a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia – The White House
Oh so declaring a crime meregency = “we have the miiltary policing DC.” (His exact words.)
Good to know.
Yeah they are practically the same exact thing. In fact they are so almost exactly similar that we can now trot out a Nazi comparison.
The District is a Federal City. The President has the authority to control the city with whatever US government agency including the US military he deems fit. Do some homework, it’s been done before. If you don’t think there’s a crime emergency in the District you should either go there or pay your internet service bill.
Nah, Nazi comparisons are passe. He is putting 800 National Guard though. Sounds like the military policing D.C. to me
Then what are the NG troops in DC for?
Oh really? 
What’s the term that you coined for ICE Agents?

The word means “secret state police.”
Mods certainly dont need my approval but just want to say thanks for taking this seriously.
You have a thankless job but in the last several years the moderation here has been spot on. Gentle reminders never hurt anyone neither does time outs, bans when appropriate and I say this as someone who has been on the naughty list more than once
