Assumptions can be wild. I once made the mistake of wearing a long black leather coat on the streets of Frankfurt, Germany.
WOW. Did I get some ugly stares from the local self-appointed defenders of the approved narrative ... automatically pegged me as a German nationalist (and I suspect, the real German nationalists don't advertise themselves like that when out and about on daily activities.)
So, some murderous tools sported black leather for twelve years in the 20th century, and black leather was still taboo in that society in the 1990s ... okay.
And I recall the German youth of those days were all about being "against Nazis" ... while not having a single word to say about German extremism that had taken place much more recently ... that of the leftist terrorist groups that kidnapped, murdered, and set off bombs in what was once called "West Germany".
