'Don't call out Nazis because it encourages more Nazism' and 'he's really not that bad' seems to be the crux of it.
See the last decade's rise of nationalism, exceptionalism, jingoism, isolationism, populism, racism, and actual fascism, for why that approach is complete bollocks.
Fuck Nazis, and if you listen to what he actually tries to say you'd agree that he is that bad.
We are not going to be able to reach radicalised people by pandering to the same irrational fears and delusions pushed upon them by the cunts who exploit them for power and profit. I think we can only show how it's been done to them and let them decide what to do about it. A large part of that is exposing these influential fraudsters.

And what we should really be doing is making sure that these types get as much exposure as possible? Righto then.
