Welp, I guess there is no use calling people who self-identify as Nazis or say Nazis were right about race and sexuality by any name at all anymore.

Shut it down, "alt-left." Shut it all down. Someone was not precise and we can't use words anymore.

Sure you can, no one even implied otherwise.

The only thing I said was that the term you are talking about most probably does not inspire the loathing it should (and once did) after all the crying-the-wolf. And considering that, I tried to hint that maybe in the future it might be sensible to take this effect into account before going down the same rabbit hole again.

To who? Is it implicit that I've misused the term? That I am misusing it here?

Who requires this admonition? If not me, then why are you burying this dire warning arm-deep in a comment thread on HN?
