If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...

Yeah the first point was about the inability to sort and identify.

Language is not prescriptivist, it evolves and changes and so do the definitions and contexts of words based on how they are used. Your whole point is outdated and detached from the concept of how language works and is applied.

Nazi cunts can fuck off.

Actually my point is firmly anchored to the reality of linguistic descriptivism. Insofar as I've seen a wide range of ideologies and people with diverse views called nazis (by equally diverse people), whose views don't mesh with my prior understanding of the term as I mentioned above, I actually hesitate to nod along with generic calls to beat up nazis.

Like to put it less plainly, neo-Nazis are nazis, skinheads are nazis, advocates for White Nationalism are nazis, KKK are nazis, but who else does the speaker mean? Like I literally don't know.
