Sure, but i dont consider Milo, or at least the character Milo presents, as a “friend.”

Milo has basically used our platform as ammo to fight his own personal culture war. He literally used us to go from minor e-celeb to major e-celeb and is now starting to crack into becoming an off line celeb. All from our problems and support.

Now i dont have a particular problem with him doing that, its validating that our message resonates so well with normies, but im also under no delusion that he wouldnt drop it like a hot rock if it wasnt working. If his opponents had not attacked us so aggressively he probably would have never noticed us, and if we had been losing he probably would have joined them.

Milo is fighting the culture war, and we are there right along side him. But no, we arent another man in the trench or running up the beach. We’re the guns, we’re the bullets. We are what the e-celebs use to bludgeon one another into submission. We wont get to share in the glory of victory, but we will shoulder all the blame in failure or defeat.

Milo is not my friend, he is a blogger and e-celeb. So i watch him dance accordingly.
