The guy is doing a fucking Nazi salute. There are people who literally wave the fucking Nazi flag. People will tattoo the Nazi swastika on their bodies and literally self identify as a Nazi. It isn't that complex holy fuck.
And those people you listed are definitely Nazis. But are people who don’t do that stuff definitely not Nazis? There’s a huge gray area.
It does not follow from this that the existence of a gray area means that obvious nazis should not be opposed vigorously.
Oh I never disagreed with that. If someone openly identifies as a nazi they deserve anything that's coming their way. My gripe with your initial comment was that you said this couldn't lead to a slippery slope because "a Nazi is well defined", when it's not. If we stop at people who are 100% confirmed nazis I'm all in, the thing that person was mentioning is how we should be wary of applying the same logic to people who could be nazis, because it's all downhill from there.
