I don't know anything about alt-right symbolism. I do have an aversion to essentially calling someone a Nazi for expressing what appears to be, at face value, a legitimate opinion.
Free speech is under more and more pressure every year, and unless you have been living under a rock you are aware of the mounting evidence of that. Right here, one thing that seems evident is that the way to win any argument, or shut anyone up, or in other words essentially censor them is to call them a racist or a Nazi.
Maybe you're not wrong, and I hope I am not enabling anyone to spread hate, but I guess my gut feeling is that I just want to express an opinion that we should be very careful about labelling people or ideas as basically racist or Nazi-esque without hard evidence they are as such, because we otherwise easily censor them--I don't believe there is any better way to do so? Right now it appears it is perhaps too easy to accomplish this.
I think people have a right to freedom of expression and I don't want to see that go away.
