Herbert F. (84) has been in a Taliban dungeon in Kabul for six months: the right-wing extremist blogger from Vienna had traveled to the Islamist country in the Hindu Kush despite warnings. He had wanted to show that, contrary to the opinion of experts, Afghanistan was a safe country of origin and that refugees could be deported there without hesitation - and proved the exact opposite.

    Which is why its a crazy argument that he’s entitled to, much less deserves anonymity. When in Rome, you do as Romans do.

    Edit: also, had he succeeded, how much do you wanna bet he would be all over the news and internet bragging about how if Afghanistan is good enough for him, its good enough for…refugees/immigrants? He would definitely be on FoxNews and friends

    Edit: doesn’t seem very fair that if he wins he wins and if he loses he wins by getting to hide his losses he would have been prepared to trumpet had the Taliban been more gentile with him

        Nah, Romans were gay

        —Him, definitely

        Edit: I just wish I had an old-timey slur to make it more realistic

          Well they probably were gay. A lot of them were very much into that kind of thing and no one back then seemed to mind.
