That’s my buddy Mike.
For those who need context, that’s Mike Godwin, who coined the first widespread “law” of the Internet (appropriately named Godwin’s Law). The law states, “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1.” It was meant to point out how poorly discussions on Usenet threads tended to fare after they’d been going for a while because eventually someone invoked Hitler or the Nazis. The discussions could be about any topic: computer code, or types of cheese, or a television show–it didn’t matter; eventually, someone would say that the people on the other side of the discussion, or the subject of the discussion, was “just like Hitler.” At that point, thanks to The burgeoning fame of Mike’s new law, people could point out how ridiculous the argument had become (e.g. no, George Lucas was not a Nazi just because he didn’t want people to write Star Wars slash fiction), and once that happened, the argument was over, and the party or parties who had brought up Hitler lost by default.
Godwin’s Law has been the definitive “last word” on Internet discussions since it was coined in 1990. But here is Mike Godwin himself, pointing out that we now live in a world where contemporary global sociopolitical discussion is exempt from his law.
I wish I could laugh.

I feel like this image would cause the universe to implode, yet here we are
i fucking hate family guys art style because every single goddamn time every person looks the exact same as one another but you can still tell exactly who they are while theyre somehow simultaneously looking nothing like the people theyre trying to represent fucking liminal space art style what the fuck
let me guess what the gag is. the show plays and either one person watching it does forced laughter or its so unfunny that someone dies.

I see no problem Mr. Garrison
“google censors trump supporters?”
(ben garrison wildly gesticulates, his veins are about to pop, he points at “RUTHLESS” with a piece of chalk)
“google ruthlessly censors trump supporters?”
“FINALLY, jesus”, you walk up to the blackboard, ben garrison passes you the chalk, you pick out your own phrase for the class to guess
