I read an interesting article a while back, which asked... why were so many of the doctors in Nazi Germany willing to engage in sterilizing mentally deficient people, and other atrocities?[1]

The answer was because, healthcare was viewed as a collective good. Doctors did not treat a patient for their own benefit, they treated a patient for society's benefit.

And I see echoes of that here.

How about that, a textbook case of Godwin's Law and it only took three comments.

" In less mathematical terms, the longer the discussion, the more likely a Nazi comparison becomes, and with long enough discussions, it is a certainty."

Seems like a silly "law". In mathematical terms, the longer the discussion, the more likely literally any comparison becomes. With a long enough discussion, every possible comparison being mentioned is a certainty.

Someone gets called a nazi for being in support of vaccine mandates and your response is "well in a infinitely long conversation everyone will get called a nazi" this is the most hackernews comment I have ever read
