Over the past few months, a 19 year old Looksmaxxing livestreamer called Clavicular has become inescapable online, collaborating with an ever growing cadre of massive influencers and conservative online figures. Just last week, he made headlines for running a man over with his Cybertruck on Christmas eve.

It's rare to see someone blow up so quickly near overnight, but I think Clavicular's rise reveals a lot about the current state of online culture and the growing influence of a Nick Fuentes-adjacent black-pilled nihilistic zoomer ideology that seems to be spreading across the internet.

Jarvis Johnson is a YouTuber and friend of mine, and we have been texting about Clavicular's rise for months. So I brought him on to go deep on who exactly Clavicular is, where he came from, how he blew up, and what his rise reveals about the state of the internet and Zoomer politics.
