The message is clear, and people trying to defend the KKK and/or Nazis are the very same who need to see that message.
It's a play on the "paradox of tolerance". TLDR: If you tolerate intolerant people, the intolerant eventually work their way into power and authority.
What part of the KKK and Nazis gave you the idea that they weren't already hectic, divisive, and inflammatory? I would go as far as saying that it's the whole point of the KKK and Nazis.
You cannot reason these people into acceptance of others who aren't like them. The only way you can deal with a violent and intentionally cruel group is by meeting them with their own methods. They have no issues committing genocide, so why should I take the high road with them when they clearly have every intention of going low and taking cheap shots wherever they can?
People wearing shirts like this in public will absolutely stir the pot, but it will also cause some to think twice before committing acts of violence against marginalized groups, which is an improvement.
Those who react negatively to this imagery in defense of the KKK/Nazis are the ones you need to be worried about.
You clearly don't want to understand my viewpoint here, so I'm just gonna leave.
