Your reply misses the point of the OP:

> ... physical attack has been socially approved. It's okay to punch a Nazi. And you're free to define Nazi whichever way you want. Quite convenient.

How many Americans actually self-identify with the alt-right? Less than .001%?

How many, on the other hand, are accused of being alt-right to dismiss their arguments and concerns?

If your first move in a potential discussion is to label your opponent with a philosophy you hate (and refuse to entertain,) then it's likely you're interested in things other than discussion.
