Probably why the person made that comment - they're privileged enough to not even consider that apart from potentially making Nazis feel unwelcome (because literally no one thinks stickers will "defeat Nazism"), and more importantly, this kind of action makes those the Nazis target feel seen and know that at least some locals would have your back..

This is also why I wear my pro-LGBT+ shirts around town. In a progressive city somewhere, it would probably make little difference -- but in this rural conservative area, it's really important to show people that they have allies.

Plus, it works as chud repellant. I have fewer people approaching me telling me the most bigoted shit I've ever heard, thinking I'll agree.

Yeah, same. I don't often leave the house, but when I do being a wheelchair user I know I already draw attention from all sorts of people, some good, some bad, so I just lean in to it and have a load of pins on my jacket, some progress pride flags, some "immigrants welcome" type messaging, some autism and disability visibility.. Might as well..
Lets those who need it know they're not alone, and others know their bullshit won't be tolerated.
