This person is "arms engineer" in the same way as DDR soldier.
Xitter handle says "based in Bulgaria", but this seems to be VPN. OP complained about having to explain to people what was East Germany not likely to happen in the former socialist brotherly countries.
Even if OP is physically present in Bulgaria, their true homeland is anime world. DDR they idolize is not actuall DDR from history, but DDR from Hetalia fanfic.
Not that there is anything wrong with it, this Earth sucks and the rest of the universe isn't looking much better.

It's such a crazy relic of the post that there used to be young earth creationists and evangelicals all over the internet even in left wing spaces.
Yes, and they were happy to debate, eager to demolish the godless evilutionists by reason, facts and logic and prove Biblical truth once and for all.
They lost and were demolished themselves, but had proven themselves to be worthy enemy. The atheist movement then committed ritual suicide later when there was nothing left to do, but this is another story.
This is all over and is not coming back.
Current conversion pitch is "Just go to church, bro. There is cool art and music, bro, and it is good place to pick up girls" and the hope for victory is no more "we will convert the infidels" but "we will outbreed them".

In trad society, arranging marriages is job for the old women of the family (with assistance of professional matchmakers when family is of means).
The worst horror tales we see in 19th century classic French literature and modern third world happen when father driven mad by greed (or desire for noble title) messes with these things.

Technically, the tale that Tubal-Cain was the first smith comes from tradition, the Biblical text does not say it.
I don't suppose Adam and Eve left the Garden with a steel foundry or bronze weapons.
Another famous traditional tale is that God created the first tongs for the first blacksmith, because you need tongs to make another tongs.
IRL, shipwrecked sailors on desert islands of old and modern bootstrapping hobbyists solved this by making the first tongs of hard wood soaked in water (large supply of them to replace as they burn off) and used them to fashion the first passable metal tongs.

Things are habbening all over the world, most of them bad and getting worse. But, on lighter culture war note, communism is still dead and gets deader every day.
Arms Engineer Mocked for DDR Border Guard Uniform on Campus
Even such events not very important offline, but inspiring one of the largest xitter storms of the day can't restore it to life.
Even compared to nazism, communism is dead. Nazi LARPers are skinheads, motocycle gangs and most dangerous prisoners, while communist LARPers are this. The final and ultimate degradation and humiliation.
Capitalism always wins, and when capitalism wins, it will seize your sacred symbols and turn them into fetish attire for pleasure of most degenerate freaks. As when barbarian warriors of old trad times made drinking cups of skulls of defeated enemies, only much more degrading.
And there is nothing you can do about it.
"All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."
And the promise seems to be not entirely rhetorical. Pasteur Institute of Iran had been hit and so was, according to Trump, largest bridge in Iran.
The bridge hit is confirmed. Is Commander in Chief now picking bombing targets personally?
Liberation mode off, Genghis Khan mode on.

Come on, man. I know that creationists are one of the traditionally iconic outgroups in rationalist-adjacent spaces
Used to be, during the golden age of Dubya. If we are retvrning to these times, why not bring back creation-evolution wars? This was the pinnacle of internet.

And things keep habbening, Christian husband and father Pete Hegseth now threatens (or promises) to retrvn back to the Stone Age. Whether he means Paleolithic, Mesolithic or Neolithic is left unspecified, and so is whether he means Iran, US or the whole world. "Stone Age" trending worldwide on Xitter right now.
Very very problematic thing to say for a member of church belonging to Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches!
From CREC Book of Memorials:
The doctrine of creation lies at the heart of Christian living, deeply embedded within our assumptions about worship, knowledge, faith, celebration, beauty, and redemption. In recent decades, many conservative evangelicals have been moved by the science of the day to oppose the historic view of creation in six sequential days of common length, several millennia in the past. Instead, they hold that the bare ideas of creation presented in Genesis have little to do with the actualities of creation. Falsely pitting poetry and symbolism against history, they distort the text of Scripture and divorce ideas from the created order in ancient Gnostic fashion.
Right now, we can be sure Mr Hegseth's pastor gives him very stern talking and calls him to repent and renounce satanic Darwinist lies unbecoming for true Biblical Christian.
And we all can continue monitoring the situation.

Umm ... admit that when your society provides malcontent like you with free therapy instead of gulag or bullet to the head, maybe you are not as repressed and persecuted as you imagine yourself to be, maybe your perma blackpill doom visions of the future are not so certain as you wish them to be?

Sure, but I would guess she was basically just changing her schtick to try to stay relevant.
Well, then she failed badly.
Imagine in alternate timeline, Greta supported Israel. "Israel is free and democratic country, the most green country in the world that makes desert bloom. Stand against terror, stand with Israel!"
Would she be more or less relevant, would she be more or less famous than in OTL?

her appearance has gone downhill
Suddenly, during few weeks in October?
Anyway, Greta's appeal was not due to appearance. If you see her as sex idol, you are alone with handful of most degenerate freaks of Four Chan, and you have a problem.
Greta's authority was authority of oracle, speaking the voice of Gods, very very very trad. This is why she was welcome in UN and invited by presidents and prime ministers.

What a curious thing to say.
Not surprising thing to say if you are consistent anarchist rejecting all forms of statism and political authority as robbery, extortion, kidnapping and murder. From such POV, government officials and their lackeys are not human, but two legged predatory beasts.
Easy to find if it is the case - would OP also list Israeli officials and functionaries among "non-people"?

forget Greta ever existed
The world already forgot about Greta, in one of most rapid deplatformings and cancellations in history.
All after Oct 7. From world famous celebrity invited by presidents and speaking in UN, to nonperson, because Greta chose to stand with Gaza.
This was the rare moment when astroturfed controlled movement became thing of its own.

You spend long time advocating for a dinner.
Your spouse finally relents, starts cooking and makes huge grease fire in the kitchen.
Now you are against dinner? Hypocrite!
If this goes on longer, the environment lobby should be really happy. There should be quite a significant drop in fossil fuel use globally.
If the situation drags for longer, imported oil and LNG will be replaced by local coal. Coal resources are immense, coal mining and burning is proven 19th century technology, even the shithole parts of the world can handle it.
It already begins in Korea, the bellwether of the world.
Time to RETVRN to cozy 1970's East Germany.

Well, it was possible to be marinated in current events before internets and before CNN.
You only had to be gentleman of leisure living in big city, and be subscribed to papers, proper respectable "all day" newspapers with morning, day and evening editions.
You woke up, found morning papers at your doorstep, and when you read them, news boy will bring you day papers, and once you finished these, evening papers would be there. You could be monitoring the situation full time in 1926 (or in 1876).
And if you were poor bum, you could have the full internet experience in your local coffee house. Here you could sit all day, read about current habbenings in papers and magazines from all over the world, and debate them with your fellow coffee house bums.

Things are happening, and are going to happen in even more spectacular way.
Yes, you can do in the real life dungeon crawl from fantasy fiction and gaming, first time since Vietnam tunnel warfare. Yes it would be awesome.(to monitor from far away now, ofc.)
Of course it is disinfo, of course the real boots on the grounds will arrive somewhere else in completely unexpected place. No way would Commander-in-Chief announce his plans to the enemy in the open. This couldn't happen.

Reality check: You can stand against society alone, but to raise kids, as one wise stateswoman said, you need a village.
Your kids need peer group of people with the same beliefs who will stand with them and support them.
Otherwise, it is just all media, school and society telling them W, while dad alone is rambling non-W. Why should they follow the old dodgering dodger?
Just one sad example: case of Adrienne Black.
Born as Don Black in racist family and raised as racist. Not some Klansman primitive, but devoted scientific HBDIQ aware racist. Little Don knew his IQ tables and bell curves as soon as he learned to read.
Dad was prominent white supremacist and Internet pioneer.
He did everything he could to raise Junior in racism and white supremacy.
And all his efforts were undone on New College of Florida by power of Jewish friendship and love.
In May 2013, Black started to befriend several Jewish people on campus, and gradually realized that her own beliefs were wrong after attending multiple Friday night dinners with Jewish friends.

The party largely responsible for this the ANC has a declining vote share but still commands the loyalty of a plurality of the electorate. In addition, most of the parties opposing the ANC are not exactly free marketer reformers of the type that might rapidly turn some of these issues around. Since Apartheid ended more than 20 years ago and these trends are deepening, it seems that the decay has not swayed most voters away from the policies that caused the issues.
So it seems that democracy is working as intended.
Democracy means that the country belongs to the people, not some chosen elite, and it is up to the people alone what they will do with their country.
If South Africans really like their country the way it is, it is their right and their democratic choice.

But in the past couple years Hunt has disavowed that article and he is a Revisionist again and he stands by his content, including that video I posted.
Interesting. How he answers to his own questions in this article, what is now his explanation what happened to the one million+ deported to the Operation Reinhard camps who were never seen again?
"parallel society in the 2020's USA"
There are many families and small groups rejecting System Approved (TM) normie way of life and living fully "parallelly" because they are small and quiet enough to stay under the radar. You do not have to go full hobo mode.
When you grow enough to be noticeable, the problems begin. TPTB have so many legal options to crush you like a bug it is not even funny.
edit: links linked
Like it or not a parallel society in the 2020's USA needs an alternative to big tech, hollywood, etc, and 'just be Amish' is unworkable
Being Amish also will not be workable in a long term.
Amish existence relies on big pile of unprincipled extemptions from the system with dubious constitutional legality, that were granted long ago, and could be revoked at any time when TPTB decide that Amish are problems that needs to be solved (before it grows into unmanageable size as in Israel).
It will not come as bolt from clear sky, Amish have rather good PR among normies, so to do it, full propaganda artillery preparation would be needed. The best angle to go about it would be animal rights - Amish attituda to animals is fully trad, with all what this means.

Questioning The Holocaust - Why We Believed (Eric Hunt Documentary)
It is significant that Eric Hunt, notable and prominent holocaust revisionist, left the movement and officially admitted that the holocaust happened roughly as described by mainstream history.
He hadn't become "repentant and reformed Nazi", he just found out that holocaust revisionism is not true, and also not helpful at all.
I greatly sympathize with Ernst Zundel, imprisoned for years in Canada and Germany. Zundel was trying to save Germany from the disaster they face today. Merkel-misled Germany is a nation ravaged by rape, murder, and terrorism by Arab and African immigrants flooding into the country by the millions, all induced by a pathological Holocaust guilt complex.
...
In many ways I feel the “denial” issue held me back from tackling other issues essential to the survival of Western Civilization. Especially Nationalism, race realism, and opposing the very real Jewish-led white genocide campaign.
Yes, and the text does not say he was the first man ever who was doing the forging. Just that he was good enough at it to be notable.
