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 Your whole point is outdated and detached from the concept of how language works and is applied.
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.
My critique is of people who lob calls for violence without clarity about their targets. Striving for clarity can be annoying, but I think it’s important when discussing the deployment of violence.
Again, not defending Nazis, actual (my definitions from above) or made up (your heretofore unwritten definition, which I assume is dumb).
Just because I think you’re an idiot doesn’t mean I like people you don’t.
Explain the context of your usage of the word bioluminescent. Do you know what that word means? Knowing big words and knowing how to use big words are very different things. Being pretentious doesn’t mean you’re smart, it just means you’re a pretentious nazi defender.

Nazi cunts can fuck off.

Stop defending nazis, you fucking putz.
I’m not defending nazis you illiterate toad.
You are, though, and you’re being an annoying pedant.

That’s a lot of words, you could have just said, “I’m a pedantic authoritarian bootlicker.”
And, again, you are defending nazis, though.
Literate people can read, you bioluminescent fraud.
