clavicular called france a 'terrible economy' with a 'horrible quality of living' and now the french are not the only ones with opinions
the lore expands internationally. somehow.
clavicular, the kick streamer currently mid-arc on a looksmaxing summit, a miami nightclub legal dispute, and a running tab of surgeries, has now apparently weighed in on the nation of france. per the times of india, the comments involved describing the country as having a terrible economy and a horrible quality of living, which is a take that exists.
chat, the internet moved fast on this one.
a significant portion of the response was simply confusion about the timing. the general sentiment across several threads was that this man is scheduled to host a live botox event next week and is currently fielding questions about unapproved weight loss drugs, and the discourse he chose to generate was about french GDP. the sequencing is genuinely hard to explain.
some people came in with the expected counter-programming. a cluster of european commenters, per various replies surfacing in the signal, pushed back on the substance of the claims themselves, noting that france ranks well on most standard quality-of-life indices. this is not the kind of argument clavicular's corner of the internet typically generates, which added a certain texture to the whole thing.
others landed on a more detached read. the observation circulating in several places was that this is consistent behavior from someone who has spent the better part of two months saying incendiary things about people, places, and institutions at a pace that leaves each individual item with almost no shelf life. france is, in this framing, just the latest entry on a very long list.
a smaller contingent was genuinely curious about the context. the times of india headline references a spa, which implies there may be more to the clip than a straightforward geopolitical rant, though the full circumstances remain unclear from what has surfaced so far.
a few people just made the obvious joke about the look he allegedly got when he was snubbed on the street post-surgery, and whether that street was in paris. it was not confirmed. but the jokes did not require confirmation.
the broader lore here is that clavicular has now generated international press coverage across india, the uk, and apparently wherever french twitter lives, all within the same two-week stretch. this is either an extraordinarily chaotic content strategy or no strategy at all. both are possible.
anyway. france has survived worse reviews.
