    Who is this guy? He went from mocked delusional lib to celebrated delusional lib and has seemingly got in on the joke?

      He is a guy working for a right-wing pro-NATO NGO that kind of become fun to make fun of and follow by people, particularly @ciaran_cornerspaeti@hexbear.net, because of his combination of weird Balkan takes, constant soyfacing and a bunch of map-based alt-history (most famously maps of balkanized Russia).

        the mystery is likely deeper than that, because the NGOs he works for is just him. My current theory is he's independently wealthy from some other bullshit and he's going through the wildest divorce imaginable

      He's the former Chairman of the European Democrat Students (conservative party student org international) between 1996 and 1998 with the Austrian ÖVP. Nowadays, he likes crank-posting with your average reddit neoliberal takes of the war hawk kind. He especially hates Republika Srpska and has called for the Federal Army of BiH to dissolve it forcefully because the Serbs are a threat to peace (iirc)... which is pretty much what caused the Bosnian (and Croatian) War in 1991 - though of course back then the nationalistic hostility was from both sides.
