alt Hacker NewsOne problem with that thought process is that the label nazi gets thrown around and misused to the point where it becomes meaningless. I've seen threads on tech forums like lobste.rs where prominent people in the industry like DHH are called nazi's. We should recognize that labels are often coupled with hyperbole. We should not be advocating for violence.

DHH has expressed clear public support for white nationalist causes and figures, on multiple occasions. What else should we call him?

you should read up on DHH and then perhaps pick another example
“It’s always ok to throw out trash”
“Ok but sometimes people throw out stuff that’s not trash because they think it’s trash”
Correct, and that would be not ok because they have mis-identified trash. Doesn’t change anything about the original premise. If you throw out trash, that’s good.
