Right-winger compares Greta Thunberg to the Nazis

Greta Thunberg is attempting to save the world for future generations, a stance that surely shouldn’t split people along political lines.

In 2019, however, the teenager is the subject of bullies online for having the temerity to try and save the planet. The latest attack on Thunberg comes courtesy of Donald Trump stan and far-right provocateur, Dinesh D'Souza. He took to Twitter with this audacious claim over the weekend

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

Not going to link the tweet. You can find it in the body of the article. Insane nasty though

the radical right should be intense and relentless. They should be identified and whereabouts exposed. These vile scumbags must be driven into exile in the worst environs on the planet. They should be harassed and abused on social media and in the flesh. These bullies who attack this innocent young girl are subhuman and should be treated like the rabid beasts they really are. Punish them at every turn until they realize their own hatred or crawl back under the rocks from which they emanated. Always confront them. Never let up.

But where does the connection to Nazis and Goebels come from?

Oh, yeah, plucked out of his posterior. Seek help, dude. Your logic circuits need a reboot.

He’s claiming the left is using her the same way Nazis used children in their propaganda. He also claims the Nazis were liberals.

He’s an imbecile.
