We live in a world were comparing government action to government action seen in 1930/1940s Europe is considered "losing the conversation" and is just met with screams of "but Godwin's law!", but where it seems to be perfectly acceptable to compare the public calling for the firing of a public official to a formerly widespread practice of brutally murdering members of underprivileged minorities.

When the comparison is made against governments, that is bad, but it is okay to make such comparisons against the people. Sickening.

The cause of this discrepancy is an unhealthy worship of the law and government that many people seem to have acquired.
