I do think it's important to try to respectfully explain why what somebody is saying is an issue but only when you have the energy.

I know from some people I've spoken with that they have no idea about the consequences of some things they (used to) agree with. If I had just called them Nazis they would have just felt disrespected and probably not thought about why people might call them that.

Them feeling disrespected is correct, though.
