    When you call the fascists what they are, it gives them an opening to derail the conversation trying to quibble over the definition of “fascism.”

    Sometimes it’s worth debunking their No True Scotsman fallacies, but other times you accept their “alt right” euphemistic synonym because it’s more important to preemptively minimize their trolling opportunities.
