We're all of the BLM protestors terrorists and criminals because some looted, vandalized and attacked people? Because by your reasoning that an entire group of thousands can be defined by a few people, then they are.

I will say, I am trying to keep an open mind and believe that the psychotic Nazis are probably a non-representative minority of an otherwise peaceful protest. That is, after all, what happened with the BLM protests, with a whole bunch of people generalizing the violent minority to discredit the movement as a whole and avoid confronting the central message. The central message of this protest is still wrong, of course, and I will continue to disagree with it and argue against it wherever possible, but I want to try to avoid dismissing it all as just being the insane ramblings of racist vandals.

That said, they're making it really hard, especially where even the well-intentioned ones are still engaging in blatant terrorism (that is, "we're engineering a supply crisis unless we get the political change we want").

I'm sure they're not all Nazis pooping on war memorials and robbing soup kitchens. Heck, I'll even believe that the Nazis pooping on war memorials and robbing soup kitchens are a relatively small minority. That said, the entire protest is a strategic attempt to disrupt infrastructure to effect political change. They are holding as much of the country as they can hostage until they get what they want. That is the very definition of terrorism, so every single one - swastikas or not - can be called a terrorist.
