I think people are not thinking about the tactical worth of gestures, which is what they are.

Well, we view the Nazis (a period I'm obsessed with) through a historical lens as if there was no politics then.

The Nazis really were a small fringe; and they masterfully navigated politics of faux victimization and terror.

"they're firebombing HQ to steal elections" almost certainly worth more. Can't know effect but money isn't huge.
