"Who AI benefits and who it immiserates often is based on who gets to decide how it’s used. We know how tech is used on the day to day. We should be at the table as well."
Hi, let me introduce you to Godwin’s Law, because you’re apparently new to arguing on the internet. Sadly, at this time, you have lost any possible good faith as your argument is dumb.
In 2021, Harvard researchers published an article showing that the Nazi-comparison phenomenon does not occur with statistically meaningful frequency in Reddit discussions
While it’s certainly overused, and that is trivializing and harmful; turning nazi comparisons into an immediate eye roll is also harmful.
I can’t even count how many times leading up to 2024 that I tried explaining to people the glaring similarities between Hitler’s rise to power, his ideology, propaganda, and intentions, and those of the nascent trump administration; and people would just write me off as some hyperbolizing troglodyte.
Now we’re in 2026 and people are finally starting to see the similarities. Too late.
Of course, the user you’re responding to is an idiot and misapplying the analogy by making an overly broad generalization intended to harm the unionizing movement. So that’s pretty asinine and contributes to the eye-roll phenomenon.
But I still question how helpful this “Godwin’s Law” is as a concept. Seems like something the Knesset would use to evade nazi comparisons…
When you make a factually sound argument with legitimate comparisons to actual Nazis, it’s not Godwin’s. But comparing unions to Nazis is corpo-propaganda at it’s best.

Holy shit thank you for introducing this ancient Internet history to me!!
Imagine thinking Godwin’s Law still applied in 2026. We have literal fucking Nazis running the United States

I didn’t compare unions to anything, I compared people who are doing evil shit for evil corporations.
I don’t care that they’re in a union, they are part of the problem and there is zero excuse for it.
