oh I hear you on that! that's why I never call them nazis either, there's far less semantic wiggle room in the term christofascist and it's a much better descriptor anyways for their chosen flavour of hate. I've never really given consideration to the "alt" descriptor before, food for thought and I appreciate it :)

Yes. It's very important not to leave yourself open to pedantic arguments. Nazis are a specific flavour of fascist but not all fascists are members of the Nazi party. It also opens you to their throwing Godwin's Law in your face as though it should stop you from calling them Nazis. If that happens it's important to be able to quote Mike Godwin himself:
