    I watched the Adam Friedland interview with Clavicular yesterday, and Gen Z is so fucked. I realize not all of them are like that, but that someone like Clavicular has gained any traction is a sign the youth is not alright.

      I hadn’t heard of this person so I asked my 15 year old son if he knew about him or if his friends were in his orbit.

      “He’s a loser. No.”

      I appreciate you for giving me this intense moment of connection with my boy

      The only place I hear anything about that guy is on lefty podcasts and streams, I tend to avoid most social media so I’m not exactly tapped in to that shit but it kind of feels like the reactive coverage is his biggest boost. I tune in to chapo and hasan and friedland and denims and seder and holy shit I’m so sick of hearing about this irrelevant fucked up kid on all of their shows.

          She’s a lefty twitch streamer who’s usually on in the mornings, mostly does reacts to current event stuff with some light context discussion, is one of the people Ethan Klein has tried to bully with lawsuits.

          Th3Discourse with Majority Report contributor Brandon Sutton is another cozy lefty morning twitch stream, and he usually raids right into the latter when he’s done.

      As an early GenZ myself, the only consolation I have is that I still had a pretty un-GenZ childhood and the lack of that rot will likely give me a competitive advantages going forward.
