Anything can be conflated, regardless of prior meanings. Heck, if your read through the material you will see that the Atlantic Council used my Clarity of Signal website in an article about Alt-right sites, even though my personal story is on display at my site and clearly states I am a former dem who is an anti-war progressive. Thus, conflation is in the eye of the beholder as well as those that choose to misrepresent the facts. Mikael Skillt self identified as a neo-Nazi and Newsweek chose to reveal such and promote him in their article. Thus, their actions deserve scrutiny. Its necessary to point out also that the mainstream media in the US started, intentionally and inaccurately, conflating the US alt-right community with Nazism while ignoring and covering up the murderous Nazis in Ukraine that were backed by the US government. I believe this conflation and obfuscation is fully intentional as the US media apparatus serves at the call of the CIA , Deep State and global elite who are sowing the current global chaos.
