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.

Also because of the audience. This has probably the overall bigger impact on opinions than wether you can change that one person's mind. So even if you're sure that guy is lost, providing better alternatives is still worthwhile.
