Reductio ad Hitlerum (pseudo-Latin for “reduction to Hitler”; sometimes argumentum ad Hitlerum, “argument to Hitler”, or ad Nazium, “to Nazism”) is the attempt to invalidate someone else’s position on the basis that the same view was held by Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party,[1] for example: “Hitler believed in eugenics, X believes in eugenics, therefore X is a Nazi”.[2]

Coined by Leo Strauss in 1951, reductio ad Hitlerum borrows its name from the term used in logic, reductio ad absurdum (reduction to the absurd).[1] According to Strauss, reductio ad Hitlerum is a form of ad hominem, ad misericordiam, or a fallacy of irrelevance. The suggested rationale is one of guilt by association. It is a tactic often used to derail arguments, because such comparisons tend to distract and anger the opponent, as Hitler and Nazism have been condemned in the modern world.[3]

There are roughly seventy members to the board that oversees public TV in Germany. It’s about the most weak and marginalized board that you can find in Germany today. It’s also the most unknown group in existence. You can ask any German how to contact the board, and they just look at you. No one has the slightest idea. Forget about ZDF or ARD ever advertising the mailing address or email address....they’d never reach that level of screwing themselves over.

I doubt that the board itself gets more than 20 letters a year....mostly because of it’s mysterious existence to the general public.

The progressives are admitting they have set the ‘stage’ for the demonic workings of Hitler. They are the cesspool of the devil’s workshop. IF history is examined, it was throughout Europe, that communism was birthed at the higher learning institutions. That Treaty of Versailles gave Hitler all the ammunition he need to deceived people that he had a ‘better’ way. Hitler was a reinvented ism doing the devil’s work. Trump has nothing in common with Hitler, and these that orchestrate and fund this lunacy are once again taking advantage of ignorant peoples.

It sure does not take much, for some, to need to have a blood letting and that is what these lunatics are seeking. They have ignored just how patient ‘we the people’ have been. Look who it is, that seek to reap the spoils of destruction they intentionally create.
