FWIW, Nazis are a non-factor in the lives of something approaching 100.00% of people in North America (and I would imagine Western Europe).

Of course, this is what you thought all along. And it's absolutely not true in the US or Canada. But even in places where there isn't an active sect of actual neo-nazis, there is usually a smattering of violent white supremacist organizations who will work with them.

What I suspect you meant is that, for you, it's not really a problem.

What I’m saying is that, if you take 10,000 people from the population at random, there probably isn’t a single person whose experience of Nazis is anything other than consuming media about them.

Could be, where you're from. In the US you may need to speak to minorities, people of color, people in the LGBTQ+ communities, or Jewish Americans. Or anyone from a certain number of cities where there has been prominent neo-nazi activity, like Charlottesville or Portland.
