While it's a euphemism for nazi, I hope you don't just assume that it's appropriate to use "white nationalist" to mean "nazi". Just because other people are being stupid doesn't mean we have to. A white nationalist could be from any political faction and could have different ideas for economic policy. A National Socialist is a very specific kind of person.
- skinkestek 6y agoTotally agree in case there should be any doubt. I prefer to call nazis "nazis". It is short and simple and we can all agree that we don't like them.

- SuoDuanDao 6y agoWell, it's a fair point - if the only people who get banned are actual Nazis, everyone will get called a Nazi before too long. Actual Nazis are rare. They were rare during WW2 and they're really rare now.
