Perhaps nihilism was too strong a accusation, but I still fear your position is leaving a loop hole open for nazis. Your case for logic and rationality reads like the status quo should be left alone, which in our current circumstances, tends to benefit whites (thus my remark). Groupthink may be groupthink, but you know how we combat that – we fund public education. We don't need to let nazis to empower themselves to guard against groupthink.

I must comment on this:

> When your "activism" starts depending on the magnitude of horribleness of the enemy for its justification, this is a historical sign that something is out of kilter.

To what activism are you referring to? My activism would be related to moving closer to a society where the starting floor hasn't fallen out for others based on class, race, and gender. Nazism, you know, kinda gets in the way of that.
