      In a tweet specifically meant to belittle their significance this strikes me as an exceedingly generous reading

      i see it as meant to belittle how much media airtime/deference they get -- and with that comes the watered-down language used to describe them

      I've always thought the term undeservedly imputes a kind of grand ideological vision to them, and thereby inflates their significance, which then leads to wildly disproportionate media attention

      What term would you prefer? Is neonazi or white supremacist ok?

      Ah what I suspected. We’re not allowed to use any labels that would correctly identify the threat they pose or the severity of their ideology. e.g. soft-peddling new-nazis, sort of your beat.

      I don't know, I've always felt that needlessly inflating their significance with undeserved media attention and elaborate, ideologically-dense labels was actually giving them exactly what they wanted

      Just a pathetically bad faith attack that doesn't even warrant a response. I've always engaged you respectfully but apparently that's become impossible on Twitter

      I appreciate his perspective as well and am dismayed at how quickly exchanges like this devolve into useless sniping
