i have a tangential question: is this thread an example of goodwin’s law ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law#:~:text=Godwin%...
I don't think so. This law is about using nazi in counterargument to something not just barely mentioning them.
No, but this thread is an example of the use-mention distinction:
