Insanity on the internet

Forget the politics here, it's the sheer madness of what this so called influencer proposes that caught my eye. There's talk of banning under-16s from using social media. After reading the below, I think they'd better change that to under 40s.

“JD Vance is subhuman, and Gavin Newsom mogs,” online influencer Braden Peters told The Daily Wire in December, using internet slang to mean “outclass.”

The 19-year-old goes by the online persona “Clavicular” and is part of an emerging internet sub-community of “looks-maxxing” that values physical looks over all other character traits, and goes to extreme lengths to transform their bodies.

Techniques to achieve these body goals vary, from “soft-maxxing,” which involves better hair, skincare, and exercise routines, to “hard-maxxing,” which can go to much more extreme lengths, including cosmetic surgery, both professional and self-performed.

Peters himself has released videos online that involved bashing himself in the face with a hammer, a technique known as “bonesmashing,” to increase his jaw definition, as well as allegedly taking illegal drugs such as crystal meth to remain skinny.

The youngster also sells his plans to “looksmax” online in the “Clavicular System,” described as a “data-driven framework using experimental methods to surpass genetic potential.”

He also offers exclusive one-on-one programs, which he says use “pharmacology, extreme methods and protocols people are too scared to even ask about,” as well as steroids.

Peters’ online exploits in the arena have caught the attention of other MAGA adjacent internet personalities, such as white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Young MAGA men are 'looksmaxxing' to emulate Newsom and not JD Vance

Weird scenes inside the goldmine, indeed.
