Every "redpilled” man who comes of age seems to experience an identical fantasy: to leave his liberal, feminist country for somewhere much poorer and more traditional to find a wife who will replace his mother in her caretaking duties, with the bonus of providing all the sex they could want.
Russia has become a haven for a number of such figures ostracized in the West. Andrew and Tristan Tate, arrested just this week in the United States over charges ranging from rape to human trafficking and controlling prostitution, and previously arrested in Romania in 2022 on similar charges, were welcomed to Russia with a traditional greeting of bread and salt.
Enter Braden Eric Peters, a 20-year-old better known by his online moniker “Clavicular,” an American livestreamer and influencer who rose to prominence over the past year for his "looksmaxxing" content. In plain English: smashing his face with a hammer to stimulate bone growth and injecting himself with substances to alter his appearance.
In keeping with other Western passport bros, “Clav” — as his fans call him — announced plans to visit Russia as part of his “geomaxxing” world tour. When asked by Piers Morgan about the morals of visiting a country engaged in an illegal invasion of its neighbor and whether he’d consider meeting President Vladimir Putin, Peters’ responses proved that all he cared about was online clout.
