Re: Foundation and Blue Planet
So we won't ever be able to discuss nazi politics and its origins and how it has affected politics ever since, ever again?

So we are basically consciously and purposedly cutting a portion of our history as if it never happened, and that's somehow a good thing?

You should understand that Godwin's law was invented mostly because there was too much stupidity concerning Hitler's viewpoints and fearmongering, etc. You should not fear that coming from me, I'm actually making an amoral judgement here.

What I am saying, and for the sake of your so big sensitivities I'll refrain the hitlerisms, is that the GTVA is making the case that freedom, liberalism and pacifism are dangerous and suicidal ideologies to be had in a moment where Shivans lurk in the shadows, ready to genocide you in a blink. The GTVA is, for all intents and purposes, tendencially fascist and militaristic. As any "empire" is tempted to be.

My point wasn't that Hitler was bad, therefore the GTVA is bad, no, what I am saying is that Hitler was wrong in his statement that the liberals were fundamentally weak, just as the GTVA is wrong in its judgement that the UEF's ideology is "fundamentally weak".

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (100%)."

That's all Godwin's law says. All I was saying is that that is what it says. It's just a humorous "law" based on the observation that comparisons to Nazi's and Hitler come up very often in internet debates. I mean damn, seriously, chill out.

Re: Foundation and Blue Planet
did I ever mention that luna city appears to resemble that huge circular tower on trantor on the cover of prelude to foundation?
