Godwin's Law states: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. This law is brought into play much quicker when flamers or trolls are involved. As Wikipedia points out, however, the above is not the most commonly known version of the Godwin. According to the better-known (but not original) interpretation, the first person to bring up Adolf Hitler or the Nazis in any debate automatically loses the debate.

- Godwin's Law states that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." Coined by Mike Godwin in 1990, this "guilt by association" rhetorical device is only effective with people who possess little historical consciousness. For example, the comments following an article about Leftist protestors crashing a Donald Trump campaign rally sans Donald Trump himself on the Portland State University campus on a minor conservative website seek to identify the protestors with Nazi thugs. A "brave" anonymous commenter identified as John Galt, Jr. writes the following: "They should all be wearing brown shirts." Yet another historically ignorant libertarian unable to refer to any authoritarian mass movement other than the Nazis.
- Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Apparition) is a scientific law. It is not a theory! It is often mistaken for Goddard's law but has fewer penguins. Godwin's law states: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of Nazis or Hitler spontaneously materializing and enacting systematic genocide against the poster approaches one. Godwin's Law does not question whether the genocide enacted by Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate or justified, but only asserts that the enactment of one is increasingly probable.

| - Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Apparition) is a scientific law. It is not a theory! It is often mistaken for Goddard's law but has fewer penguins. Godwin's law states: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of Nazis or Hitler spontaneously materializing and enacting systematic genocide against the poster approaches one. Godwin's Law does not question whether the genocide enacted by Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate or justified, but only asserts that the enactment of one is increasingly probable. The most frequent invocation of the law today is found on Wikipedia, where discussion threads for the most trivial of topics cover pages and pages. This explains the origin of the WikiNazis who roam the site, permitting only their warped "NOPV" version of the facts.

Yet another historically ignorant libertarian unable to refer to any authoritarian mass movement other than the Nazis. Something similar happened in the rhetorical outbidding that characterized populist conservative discourse in the United States after a person of African origin was elected President of the United States. In what can only be described as ideological confusion, populist wingnuts accused liberals and progressives of being Nazis. Note that fear that "enemies" are Nazis is a common fixation among paranoid schizophrenics.
