– #Sticky Note on Godwin’s Law –
What’s happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people hasn’t happened at any other moment in history. Actually, it has happened: when Hitler decided to kill the Jews. (Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva)
Honourable President Lula da Silva! Dear Luiz Inacio!
Lately, it seems to have become quite fashionable among some Statesmen to enjoy comparing international Counterparts of theirs with Hitler[2].
Ever heard of Godwin’s Law[3]? – : As an (online) discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches.
Did Putin put these words into your mouth?!
How about attending a Crash Course in Twentieth Century European History at your earliest convenience?
How about the following Data?
Recent data shows that Brazil recorded 40,824 homicides in 2022 — an average of 111 violent deaths per day. This is high, the equivalent of one out of every five homicides in the world occurring in Brazil. (Wilson Center, Homicides Are Down In Brazil But It's Not Time For A Victory Lap)

[3] Godwin's law (Wikiped) ––– The creator of Godwin’s Law explains why some Nazi comparisons don’t break his famous Internet rule - The Washington Post – related as follows: Adolf Hitler's Reichstag Speech on Revolutionary Spirit, 30 January 1937 (worldfuturefund.org): At the time when I used to go here and there throughout the country, simply as a public speaker, people from the bourgeois classes used to ask me why we believed that a revolution would be necessary, instead of working within the framework of the established political order and with the collaboration of the parties already in existence, for the purpose of improving those conditions which we considered unsound and injurious. Why must be have a new party, and especially why a new revolution? ––– Joseph Goebbels' Sportpalast Speech on Total War, 18 February 1943 (calvin.edu): I do not know how many millions of people are listening to me over the radio tonight, at home and at the front. I want to speak to all of you from the depths of my heart to the depths of yours. I believe that the entire German people has a passionate interest in what I have to say tonight. I will therefore speak with holy seriousness and openness, as the hour demands. The German people, raised, educated and disciplined by National Socialism, can bear the whole truth. It knows the gravity of the situation, and its leadership can therefore demand the necessary hard measures, yes even the hardest measures.
