  Did you actually read your link?

  In June 2018, Godwin wrote an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times denying the need to update or amend the rule. He rejected the idea that whoever invokes Godwin’s law has lost the argument, and argued that, applied appropriately, the rule “should function less as a conversation ender and more as a conversation starter.”

  No, you didn’t read it.

    Understanding it and having to read the whole Wiki page do not have to go hand in hand; you are misunderstanding jet’s intention, or at the very least you are assuming.

    Jet gave an opinion/perspective already and your question was loaded at best, not something which is intended to continue the conversation. Just because Godwin said it should function one way doesn’t actually mean it does. I do not think you are discussing in good faith, and do not see your invoking of “hitler or stalin” is conducive to a quality exchange.

    Do you understand what Godwin’s Law is? Your “hitler or stalin” question is loaded at best, and makes everything after it pointless, as you are bringing up a hypothetical (and impossibility, since they are dead). Bring up someone living who is not in prison.

        That’s definitely a good example and more conducive to a discussion (even if it’s only one word). I don’t think dictators and tyrants should be deplatformed, I see little benefit to that. There are so many legal things in place restricting the movement of money, goods and services in and out of Russia, as well as sanctions on him and an arrest warrant. Much like with Trump, anything he says publicly can be used against him.
