And I think that this is something that a lot of people are having trouble dealing with.

And this is a bit of that nihilism as it relates to our political moment.

Clavicula's politics, in so much as that they exist, are about attention, right?

And I think that you see this in so many different varieties, right?

I'm not linking Clavicula directly to the types of mass shooters that we have seen.

But there is a similarity, there is a similar flavor, right?

in the sense of you see some of these mass shooters going into places, doing these big manifestos, right?

Some of these manifestos contain a whole bunch of anti-Semitic and white nationalist screeds

But then they also have a bunch of stuff making fun of Donald Trump.

They write stuff on their bullets that the whole point of it is to get attention, to get people to go on a wild goose chase, to understand who they are, to hack the media, to hack the attention.

And at the end of it, that is what matters to them.

That is why...

They are doing this.

And I think you can kind of tie that to this guy.

The reason he's doing it is because it gets him the attention that he wants.

It's helpful to his project, which is to be the, you know, the guy who goes in and, you know, quote unquote, mogs people on stream.

I don't.

I mean, when I wrote that piece, a lot of people reached out to me very despondently.

And one thing that I feel like saying about my job, writing about...

technology and the Internet is is it feels a lot like being like a foreign correspondent to me.
