I don't doubt that they like the notoriety. But I would call them artists before I would call them celebrities. Unique artists doing unique things from unique perspectives. Milo is a gay christian master troll leading a religious crusade in the modern world through trolling and shocking and mocking. He is effective because he knows his enemy inside and out. He's been on both sides of the aisle. It's delightful to watch. I find these people highly original and good at what they do. They are also all, in my opinion, intellectuals, knowing their opponents well. Milo didnt become the ultimate troll not reading the Bible and philosophy and culture and studying their intersectionality. Alex Jones didn't become who he is by not reading millions of pages of conspiracy documents and doing crazy outrageous journalist activisism (while having mental illness run in the family). Vox Day created a book publishing company that represents everything progressives hate and have tried to kill. He is on a one man mission to reinvigorate books in the classic tradition of archetypal storylines rather than new age race and gender and earth harmony/disaster storylines. Paul Sperry is just a wonderful reporter that pulls big stories at big times, though he is a little obscure. I think this is one of his best scoops. He broke a lot of news in this one article and blew open the case for Vindman being the whistleblower. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/10/30/... That's why I'm interested in these people. Not because of some vapid celebrity, but because they stand out and in this sanitized narrated world where thoughts are highly fought over and controlled. |

This seems like you like these celebs like any one likes “vapid celebs” but because of the persistent push of these sort of folk to seem so intellectual (but not elite), things have to be spun like being called artists vs celebs to keep the narrative and celebrity going.
