Godwin's Law aside, my point remains valid.
The most successful propaganda isn't an outright lie, but rather, based on manipulation of the truth.
Please bear with me and understand that I am being neither argumentative nor anti-semetic... just supporting my comparison
1. ECF attempted to take a high ground by calling Joe Petner's morality into question. Nazi propagandists painted the Aryan race, especially Nazi Aryans, as morally pure, superior and above reproach while calling the Jews perverted sub-humans.
2. The Third Reich imprisoned, and even executed people for existing opinions contrary to their own. They held rallies specifically for the burning off books and destruction of art and media outlets in order to control what the general populace had access to. ECF prohibits ADULTS from even mentioning- oh well- you get the point.
3. Successful Jewish businesses were targeted. Their owners murdered. The assets seized. Buildings burned. All of this under the guise that Jews were greedy and enslaved the hard-working honest Germans. Sounds a lot like what was said about Vapor Joe's, huh?
4. And finally, after establishing Jews as dirty, immoral, greedy thieves, the Nazi party began attacking anyone that supported Jews or Jewish businesses saying that to associate with them made you as bad as they were. Sounds kinda familiar, huh?
From my personal experience, I've seen Godwin's Law in play many times and usually it's a cop out from a weak mind trying to be profound, but in this case I feel the comparison is spot on.
Again, I hope I haven't offended anyone (except Nazis), by discussing how a cruel and warped group portrayed an entire race.
On a side note, I haven't deactivated my ECF profile. Waiting to see if they do it for me for being a VU member.
