I agree, but I do not agree with painting people that disagree as 'Nazi'.

Here in South Korea, there is institutionalized racism or something we call as institution enabled racism. People who are not Korean or white aren't even allowed in most clubs or jobs and it isn't illegal to do so.
Labeling deters bringing exclusionary views into tech projects, It could be just words, but I am happy to see the privileged society at least care for the minority in the west. I wish there was more of this in Korean tech websites, but xenophobia is so ingrained that people don't realise that it is wrong. People openly admit that they are xenophobic but don't see anything wrong with it.
In korea, labeling someone a nazi doesn't work as they don't care and can't relate. But the label that works here is calling someone "poor" or "ugly".
We don't tolerate racism of any kind.
Unless they want to express something different with their "No nazi bullsh*t". Unfortunately plain and clear statements are not used often. But (esp. younger) people are more often echoing political main stream slogans. That is by the way the key thing to understand when talking about the history of Nazis.
There can be widespread bigotry that falls far far short of N*ism. Words and precision matter.
There are still people out in the world that call themselves Nazis. Its not directly comparing "todays" people to those that started world war II.
Its calling out white nationalist by the name some of them have chosen for themselves.
If they are against racism, why don't they just write this? Because they want to sneak in a political statement. That's where they lost me.
Consider a great evil, claim to be against that great evil and become the greatest hero in the process. The problem is that we are running of Nazis, so the bar for someone being called a Nazi or fascist keeps dropping, because of the great demand by saviours.
You can learn from history _and_ berate Nazis. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
I don't know where you're from, but there are also _modern_ Nazis who proudly identify as such and they can and should be told to fuck off.
