The March to Inevitability

In forums vast where words collide,
Where reason tries, yet trolls abide,
A thread begins with calm intent—

With snark and subtle verbal knives,
Till history’s shadow takes the floor,
A specter we all have seen before.

And lo! It comes, both swift and grim,
A name invoked on impulse, whim,
Comparisons drawn, unjust or raw—
The prophecy fulfilled: Godwin’s Law.

So heed this truth, you keyboard knights,
When sparring deep in pixel fights:
All roads in rage, though winding far,
Lead straight to where the Nazis are.
