Okay so I actually watched that first video.  It looked like a parody of Nazi propaganda.  If you replaced all those flags with Nazi flags and Trump with Hitler, it would literally be indistinguishable. [/quote]

Godwin's law on display here......

[quote]A new study shows that the so-called law is, in fact, backed up by evidence. A data analyst who blogs under the name CuriousGnu has analyzed 4.6 million reddit comments to find that 78 percent of conversations that reach 1,000 or more comments mention Nazis or Hitler.

Godwin explains that the comparison is usually out of desperation. "Discovering what other people think when they disagree with you is quite disturbing. So there's a tendency to escalate," he says. He adds that the Internet created the first opportunity for such a diverse range of people to interact in an unmediated space.

But of course, the problem with such escalated online rhetoric, he explained in that 1994 essay, is that it trivializes the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazis during the Holocaust. References to them for context in historical discussions? Fine. Shorthand to insult someone? Offensive.[/quote]
