But that's all there is. That's all we get in the majority of our interactions with strangers. It's what people do, have always done and will always do.
I guess my comments about writing people off apply to most interactions with strangers, then? This is obviously a pretty extreme example, as most interactions with strangers don't involve swastika-adorned clothing.

You have literally no idea if any of this is true. You've basically caricatured them. It's not like I'm trying to justify wearing a swastika mask or anything, as my previous post should make clear. I just don't think it makes any sense to try to draw conclusions about what led them to that behaviour or whether or not they're just a lost cause. I would think you'd need to at least meet someone to be able to confidently figure that sort of thing out. Not that it matters, I couldn't care less about those two, but the tendency to sort people into boxes and assume you know all about them despite having basically no information to go on is just strange to me.
