I’m a little disturbed at the comparison of old-school literature folks to Hitler, and it fails as support for argument according to Godwin’s Law, but as entertainment it is awesome!
I agree with your points, Matt. I don’t think the comparison is traditional literary study = Hitler.
I think the comparison is trying to keep all of English studies traditional = Hitler.
Which isn’t a great comparison. But is hilarious!
