      Basically what said. There was a bunch of Punks in East Germany so dressing up as one wouldn't be too alarming. It would be like a KGB agent dressing up as a hippie.

        They did that, Yuri Bezmenov mentioned infiltrating groups of hippie westerners who were in India back in the 1970’s.

    Probably good. East Berliners copied Western Punk culture, and he is functionally doing that. On top of signalling he has money through the quality of his clothes. In all likelihood he could talk to people who hated the Russians and also people in the Russian military who perceived him as a drug dealer or someone who could get a hold of other contraband.

      May I ask for what the "Straw Basket on Head" Disguise is for?

        It became associated with a particular sect of Buddhism (Fuke-shuu) in Japan, with the hat being used by the traveling monks to remove/suppress ego. Spies and assassins took advantage of this peculiar outfit since it gave them a good excuse for obscuring their identities.

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        It's the attire of a "Komusō" mendicant monk of Fuke school of Zen Buddhism. They'd travel around, wearing those baskets to cover their heads, and played a bamboo flute to meditate. Their wandering lifestyle combined with the face-covering hats unsurprisingly meant that they were often suspected of being spies.

          Also they had been given carte blanche by the shogunate to wander wherever they please without needing traveling papers, which was the main draw.
          This eventually led to a cat and mouse game where local authorities kept trying to find new ways to authenticate monks, and spies pretending to be monks kept learning more and more ways to better copy monks.
          iirc, it basically settled on making them play their flute, the real monks practiced special breathing patterns to walk and play for hours at a time, which can't really be replicated without a ton of practice that most spies just didn't have the time or teachers for.

            Main draw for spies, that is. Everyone else needed papers authorizing travel. The alternatives would be to go without papers (dangerous, better stay off the roads and learn to climb walls at night to avoid gates), get forged papers (dangerous, if you're suspicious they could arrest you and send a courier to the authority who supposedly wrote your papers who would confirm they're fake) or get real papers from your boss (dangerous since now you aren't deniable unless he throws you under the bus).

      He wasn't Delta at that point, he was in an army SF unit with a stay-behind role - they cached weapons around Germany and were tasked with sabotage and recon jobs in the event the war kicked off. Absolutely fricking based, there's a decent book around somewhere.

    The fact that he looks like a model or a fashion ad while doing it is just because he's in shape and you're not. Get in the gym, bros, then it doesn't matter what the frick you're wearing you'll look good in it.

    "STASI could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this nachbarschaft before. There could be STASI anywhere." The leather of his coat felt good against his t-shirt. "I HATE STASI" he thought. Duran Duran's The Chauffeur reverberated the Berlin Wall, making it shake on it's cheap Soviet foundations even as the Red Man Dip circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of double agents after dark. "When you're a spy, you can wear anything you want" he said to himself, out loud.

      One of the ways of spook disguise is actually to stand out as much as possible. CIA did that in Iran for example, sending their glowBlack folk as a bunch of clueless American tourists who kept asking local law enforcement about directions constantly, same with locals and generally being loud and obnoxious. Suffice to say, it worked flawlessly.
      That said, dude is sporting pretty average 80s look.

      >obese people
      Lacking in motivation to do exercises is what causes that physique. While people are born with different body types and metabolism/fat storage, all can be managed by exercises and a little bit of restraints in eating. Ectomorphs have slow metabolism, but can still maintain heir shape by exercising.

        Your body is ridiculous efficient at couch potatoeing? That's great (and if we didn't live in an obesogenic dystopia you'd be an übermensch). It means your brunch can (and should be) be an egg mcmuffin instead of a triple-decked goyburger with soggy fries. If you insist on having the burger that's a problem squarely in your head.

        >muh exercise
        Controlling the amount of energy that goes through your pipe is much easier than busting your ass at planet fitness after chugging half a bottle of corn syrup. Frick, a single energy bar will offset the energy expenditure of your average lardo at the gym. And sorry but there's no way you're going to make a fatass enjoy exercise for exercise's sake. That's like asking ghetto kids to enjoy calculus.
