What's the context here? I'll admit it's probably right in front of my face but I'm not seeing where this is coming from when I click through his Twitter. Is this just some girl in pig-tails in a PSA explaining she doesn't want to inherit a boiling planet or see her friends die in a school massacre so D'Souza is going full Godwin because he's a criminal rear end in a top hat?

The girl on the right is Greta Thunberg, probably the most famous teenage climate activist in the world. Convicted Felon Dinesh is indeed a huge rear end in a top hat and just projecting his Nazism onto her.

Every government regulation is one step on a slope towards total government control. Socialism is the same as Communism is the same as Naziism, since all involve the government controlling things and also National SOCIALISTS duh. The Nazis liked images of an idealized pastoral life, which is the same thing as environmentalism right?

So environmental regulations pave the way for death camps, and this is the actual intention of the Democratic Party.

Dinesh still thinks his party is against slavery, the Klan, Nazis, Native American genocide, etc.

One thing I've noticed recently with a lot of conservative twitter accounts is that not only are they getting dragged in these comments but there are people going "look I'm conservative but what you just said is stupid" (also happening a lot to Ben Shapiro). Now whether or not they're conservative can't really be proven obviously, but given how tweets from Dinesh and other big-ish names are getting ratio'd hard it seems a lot of people are getting fed up with this schtick, or at the very least are uncomfortable with how open it is.

EDIT: Also Dinesh throwing huge rocks in his glass house with this tweet given he dated both Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham who are far more Nazi than Greta Thunberg.

Thank you for sharing this, it was a good laugh. I love how he doesn't even stop for a second to think about the total incongruity of radical secularism and radical Islam. Of course "most religious books were confiscated by federal authorities" and also "the president signed it into law in a ceremony heralded by protected people groups as well as the Muslim Brotherhood." That makes perfect sense to the author, the editor, the publisher, and the reader.

I mean, the book is called "Cultural Jihad" for a reason, even though he spends most of the book bitching about kids not being able to lead prayers at graduation and Ten Commandment monuments being taken down from courthouses. He thinks Islam is just manipulating the secularists into "weakening" Christianity in America, to make it easier for the Mohammedan Horde to sweep in and convert us all to Shariah law by the sword when the time comes. They're in cahoots, I say, cahoots! Political Correctness Gone Mad(tm)!

Lol the Southern Baptists are the most fractious possible denomination, I'm pretty sure as many as wouldn't would consider 'the president of the Southern Baptist Convention dies in Fort Leavenworth' as a thing to cheer for.

True, but Evangelicals tend to mythologize the SBC as the last, true stronghold of conservative (and thus true) Christianity. Sure, in practice there's tons of bickering, infighting and division, but they'll still put out statements opposing the gay agenda or feminism every once in a while, so they're very important.

It's amazing how holding all three branches of government somehow leads to fantasizing about being a persecuted minority.

But you see with democracy they are not guaranteed to be in control in perpetuity. The only way from this peak is down and they feel they are holding on to that peak with their fingernails.

Also, a lot of that poo poo he posits happening to Christians is happening to non-Christian denominations in the US. I suppose that makes it all the more real for them as they consider not being the ones on top of the heap anymore.

Except they do also control a good chunk of culture. They fact that they have a mere plurality rather than solid control and majority is another source of anxiety.

Fox News is culture, Breitbart is culture, the Rapture novels are culture, all the writings supporting the quiverful movement is culture, etc.

D'Souza is a scumbag who makes money off of selling nazism, that's really all it is. Again don't look for a nugget of truth in this kind of bullshit, there isn't one.
e: reminder D'Souza is the guy that remade famous KKK propaganda film "Birth of a Nation" to try to make the point that no, actually, it is the Democrats that are the real racists

They're reluctant to say anti-gay stuff outright anymore, but they'll mutter something about traditional values and then say "BOY, I could REALLY go for some CHIK-FIL-A right about now!!" followed by several long, slow winks to the camera.

This is already way past how anyone should engage with blatant bad-faith bullshit. It's on par with trying to come up with a rebuttal for "The Jews create kosher child porn" (an actual thing Nazis say). Just do not engage with this kind of poo poo, openly scoff at it and verbally abuse whoever is trying to ~debate~ something so ridiculously false. If you find yourself even slightly believing in something like this, CHECK YOURSELF because your brain is hosed up.

I could have explained my thought process better. It's self-evident that there isn't any way to engage with it, because there isn't any evidence for it. Which is sort of the point I made with the rest of my post!

I wasn't specifically chastising you, but rather the general idea of "debating" flagrant racist bullshit. Even asking "where's the proof this is true"* just invites further propagation of that bullshit, imo it only deserves scoffing and mocking.

Another common trope is the “I’m just playing devil’s advocate.” An in-law’s partner tried that at Christmas and I got yelled at for yelling at him (it was about gay marriage, which is doubly absurd because they’re all Canadian).

If anyone finds themselves willing to ask "where's the proof that this is true" for something like this "Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother" thing but not like, "Wealthy Jew George Soros Secretly Controls Everything" or "Barack Obama Was Actually Born In Kenya Show Us The Birth Certificate" you need to step back and examine why the former seems more worthy of your engagement.
