The original conversation can be continued in any way. Saying someone is diverting from it is just bullshit, sadly too common. People try to decide for others what the conversation is about and where it doesn't go, while everything is interconnected and it's not their place.
You've missed one little nuance, a Nazi salute (suppose we're clear that it's what the gesture meant) can be used to, #1, attract those sympathetic to Nazis in symbols, #2, insult those strongly against Nazis in symbols, #3, attract those against people from group #2, and one can go on. I think it's #3 much more than #1, and #1 and #3 are not the same.
That's what I had to say on the subject, but was in a bad condition to think and say it as clearly as now.
