Yes, the ADL pyramid is a modern Godwin’s law. You only bring it out to state that “making fun of someone is the foundation of genocide”.

Nobody is doing that. What people are saying, in this thread even, is that making fun of names is innocent fun.
The pyramid is intended to show that its foundational to hate.
Thats then being immediately taken out of context to equate stereotypes with genocide as a straw man argument. In this thread.
Nobody here or at Basecamp made such an argument. Its entirely made up to shut down discussion.

Thought is also the foundation below that. In fact, thought is much more requisite to hate rather than making fun of something.
Shall we update the pyramid and show that thought is the foundation to all hate so we can show it whenever someone thinks?
