What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

Agree to some extent, but a counterpoint; some of us who do need them spend a lot of time doing the adventure things and less time making money, so not enough means or care to have nice normal or urban clothes on top of the expensive adventure kit.
So for sure, a bunch of Arcteryx clad status symbol signaling happening down at the local brewery, but don't judge too harshly. Some of us just came down from the mountains long enough to have a pint.

Please elaborate. This is fascinating.
How to recognize a true believer, from Matthew 7:16-20:
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Care to expand upon that?
Yeah I can, but every time I do I get comment stalked for days by linux fanatics

Which points exactly?
Nah, you can read it again.

It's ok, I judge myself too. Continue to judge and boo us, it may give some the extra push to finally quit

I'm Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they're wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn't be wearing shorts).
I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.

oh wait you did in the second part, oh well you get a pass. this whole thread is "Wedding like conservatives" which, like, yeah i get it, I don't either, but it's really boring to read

It's not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They're popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.
Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It's the same as buying a sports car, except you're also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.
Pit Viper glasses. Gas station boner pills to wear on your face.

Edit: What do you judge them for?
Basically the only thing that really bothers me is a lack of epistemological humility, people pretending their views are objectively true.

Had a guy profess his love for crypto on the last flight sitting behind me. He kept rambling about staying connected on discord and getting a heads up before bagholders. If you talk about investment strategies in public spaces and think crypto is hot and you still fly coach then fuck you and curse your family line back to the stone ages.

I used to smoke, so I’m extra judgey.

MAGA gear or by association those stupid shirts, hats, and stickers that say “F your feelings” or “we the people have had enough” etc. most people I work and live around that’s there basic fashion and culture.

Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.

Nah, they're cool. Anyone that tells the manosphere to fuck all the way off is cool by me.

Being Religious.
Truth. I'm sorry that I'm only allowed one up-vote.

Ugh, yes. Seriously, Elon aside, what kinda GIGA-DOUCHE does a person have to be, to see that thing and think "Wow! I must have one!"

"Oh awesome, nice Tool shirt. What's your favorite track?"
Oh, I've never listened to them

[/big s - these days I just assume they got it at Goodwill/Value Village or something and thought it was a good price for a t-shit. Best reaction if it's a band you're into is dropping some good intro tracks - invite people in]

Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.

Hats. Fucking hat people think they are better than me just because they cover their head?!
I don’t think I’m better than you for wearing a hat, I’m bald and a sunburn on your scalp is a mother fucker, I think I’m better than you for other reasons entirely.

The paradox of tolerance relies on a lot of assumptions that don't really work in reality. We don't tend to see more open societies have more intolerance, quite the opposite. Part of the problem is that "the intolerant" is not a single group, but many groups that hate each other. And those who are intolerant towards the intolerant are themselves part of the intolerant.
For a less-political example, let's imagine hypothetically that Lemmy is very pro-linux. However, some people who absolutely hate linux show up and start posting anti-linux memes. These people get insulted, downvoted, and eventually banned by others on Lemmy, because they're showing intolerance towards linux.
But then what happens to those anti-linux people? They go off and created their own forums, and talk about how intolerant lemmy is to people who don't use linux. So whenever a linux user shows up on those forums, they're inevitably banned. The result of intolerance of the intolerant is that they remain intolerant, and now the tolerant have become hard to distinguish from them, and there's no way for pro-linux forces to be part of the conversation anti-linux people are having - allowing them to create their own culty filter bubble.
Now imagine an alternative - instead of banning the anti-linux people, pro-linux lemmy users decide to engage with them and correct misconceptions about linux. After all, linux, like many other topics, can get kind of complicated, and linux users need to remember that not everyone has the same background knowledge that they do about the topic. Sure, some linux haters would be persistent, but maybe others would be like "hey, these linux folks are actually kind of cool and helpful, I want to be more like them." That may sound idealistic, but I think that's a lot closer to what we see in reality - intolerance thrives in closed off spaces, and dies in open ones.
You’re missing the point entirely, it’s not a paradox, nor is it so philosophical, it’s a very basic social contract. If you offer tolerance then you receive tolerance, if you offer intolerance then you are owed nothing but intolerance. It’s simply reciprocity.
