Point of Order: Godwin suspended Godwin's Law indefinitely, likely in response to the alt-right and Trump's election.
(Godwin did indicate that a common adaptation of the law, which is a principle [though not a valid one] of reasoning, which is often mislabeled as the law itself, was both overly broad and specifically improper when applied to particular comparisons to the Nazis.)
Turns out what I was referring to was not the law itself, but a principle that is mislabeled as it, which I object to people using as a "checkmate" move or as a thought-terminating cliché.
What is the valid principle of reasoning allegedly suspended by Godwin's Law?
Most invocations of the Nazis are nothing more than name calling.
>On December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: "If you're thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump. Or any other politician." On August 13, 2017, Godwin made similar remarks on social networking websites Facebook and Twitter with respect to the two previous days' Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, endorsing and encouraging efforts to compare its alt-right organizers to Nazis.
