I mean, an elderly granny gained a huge online following playing Skyrim. There are also various channels of old people talking about their youth, opinions on today through the lens of their experi nce, etc. with big followings. This guy was also involved in politics, apparently
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
