While comparing something to Hitler is the automatic losing argument of the internet world, I think that those people are making the best comparison they know how.
This, all this going around right now, is a cathartic response. The stupidity, the USA USA USA, the fuck you OBL burn in hell and the tears and everything. People needed it, it brings closure and even if most of it isn't the most mature of behaviors or words, it doesn't mean it's not useful to the people feeling/saying/doing those things even if they don't know that at an intellectual level.
We'll get past it and life will go on.
