Flying a Nazi flag is itself, with no other acts, hurting people. This is like saying "the cross burning didn't hurt anyone, the lynchings were the real problem".
Sorry I meant to call that out more explicitly. The symbols do harm people because they've done damage, but the symbols themselves didn't do the damage and I wondered if not being more clear about that is why people don't see other modern fascist movements with different symbols for what they are.
