It is a low effort comment, not necessarily a low value one. It summarizes people's response to it well.
Every aspect of German culture can be linked to WW2 without much effort and has been for decades. Here is a humorous look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFxoyxQAh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFxoyxQAh4 instead of a sarcastic wikipedia link.
I do understand where you are coming from but sometimes you just have to let it go, as most others have done. WW2 ended in Germany over 75 years ago, people don't want to be reminded of it underneath a fun travel blog.

It is about making unnecessary and hyperbolic comparison's to Nazis or Hitler. So if you are going to argue why Godwin's law applies here, you should focus on why my reference was irrelevant and hyperbolic.

- slg 6y agoMy point started with "I think [WW II] is completely relevant". Therefore Godwin's law is the original goalpost. I have no idea how you can look at my comment and think I was moving the goalpost. Because without further explanation, this last comment certainly seems like trolling by responding with another low effort post.
