- sbmthakur 8y agoThere is sure one. People also lined up behind leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther Jr. Populists come in all forms. It would greatly help if we don't use Goodwin's law everywhere and use terms like Nazism, Fascism, Hitler etc. where they are actually due.
- Throwawayzoink 8y agoYes, but not all populist leaders work on killing freedom. Or diluting Right to Information. Or making political funding opaque through anonymous bonds. This is not even close to Godwin's law. The government is curtailing freedom. The government is letting criminal/lynchers/gaurakshaks loose. Even people who kill policemen are on the loose for months now. Recently Amol Palekar was brazenly stopped from talking against the government, and this whole thing happened infront of media.
