Dinesh D’Souza Gets Panned, Mocked, Condemned for Terrible Tweet Comparing Teen Activist to a Nazi
A corollary to Godwin’s Law states that “as an Internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler increases, and whoever makes that comparison has automatically ‘lost’ whatever debate was in progress.”
Extending this axiom to the current public discourse of the climate crisis begs the question: should a critic of Swedish teenaged activist Greta Thunberg who evokes Hitler and Nazis be considered a loser? Absolutely.
Dinesh D’Souza — the convicted felon and repeated promoter of false conspiracy — is the loser in question. The online provocateur offered what many saw as, at best, an ill-advised Tweet on Sunday when he likened the visage of Ms. Thunberg to imagery used in Nazi propaganda. D’Souza tweeted:
Children—notably Nordic white girls with braids and red cheeks—were often used in Nazi propaganda. An old Goebbels technique! Looks like today’s progressive Left is still learning its game from an earlier Left in the 1930s pic.twitter.com/E4q2KZ526s

The most charitable explanation in this “propaganda” message is D’Souza’s noticing similar imagery between the Nazi propaganda and Ms. Thunberg, however, the comparison between Nazis and a climate change activist (an issue on which D’Souza has historically been remarkably skeptical) is not a smart rhetorical move. Or at least that’s the belief held by many on Twitter who reacted as such:
I’m actually extremely happy that a young girl hellbent on saving us all scares the shit out you, Dinesh… #GretaThunberg https://t.co/TXl8EO3KFT

Targeted harassment of a child from a pathetic felon, who is clinging to the paper thin relevancy he created for himself on the back of systemic racism.

I’m not really on the Greta train, but so far this week the wack-right has accused her of being both Antifa and a Nazi and their sloppy Kremlin-lite propaganda technique is getting more and more obvious because they are all out of paper tigers when it comes to climate science. pic.twitter.com/IDQK2kyh9m

Convicted felon Dinesh D’Souza comes from a long line of conservatives who say anyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi, while accusing liberals of doing the same. https://t.co/hHXmqskC8l
