If someone tries to downgrade your bro's role in a story β minimizing what he did or taking his credit β you correct the narrative. Immediately. Loudly.
The Uniform Standard
A bro holds the same loyalty on a Monday morning as he does on a Saturday night. Fair-weather brotherhood is not brotherhood β it's a scam.
