I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.
