So why is @jonkay so intent on denying that someone who calls himself a Nazi is Nazi (and instead saying that that person is just "making insensitive arguments). I think the answer is anti-anti-racism.

Kay is deeply committed to the idea that racism is not a serious problem in modern North America. So he literally cannot admit that anyone, even an avowed Nazi, is a racist.

Part of Kay's argument (if you want to dignify it as such) is only people who ran concentration camps in 1945 are actual Nazis. That seems historically obtuse.

I mean, even in 1933-1945, most Nazis didn't run actual concentration camps. And the Nazis that existed since then don't have power, so they can't, but they do have the ideology.

There are people influenced by Nazi ideology who are killing people in the present.The fact they don't run concentration camps is of little comfort to me. Yet Kay wants to discount this reality. Why? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/the-resurgent-threat-of-white-supremacist-violence/550634/ …
