Bullshit.
Nazi/Hitler is used because it's almost universally accepted as being evil, so if you can made a valid correlation, you've demonstrated evil, which is untennable. Many discussions boil down to the basic principals of morality. Appealing/correlating/associate another to evil is not some new phenomenon Godwin discovered. I could create a law about -isms that follows the same rationale as Godwin's law, as in more recent times it's replaced references to Nazism as the go to reductio ad absurdum for untenable evil.
It's actually laughable people think he is some sort of authoritative figure when it comes to discourse.
I digress, let's not pretend the Wookie knows logic/rationale.
