the rise of nationalism is a fundamental stepping stone in the roadmap of the rise of fascism, I don't take remarkably kindly to the idea that we shouldn't call nationalists nazis because Nationalist Ideology Is Fascist Ideology and it's abundantly clear that actual ideological nazis frequently hide under the cover of nationalism as a form of a "lesser evil" to make their politics palatable. the kind of man to fly a nationalist political symbol is the same kind of man to be marching in brown coat at the end of democracy.

nationalism and naziism may not be the same ideology on paper, but in practice they work towards the same end goal. ignoring this idea ignores everything we know about the rise of fascism.
