Two Miami bars recently issued apology statements after hosting Clavicular. That was weeks before Knight Library publicly advertised tickets to attend his ‘special’ appearance. In early January, videos circulated online showing a group of far-right influencers partying at a Miami Beach club while singing along to the Kanye West song “Heil Hitler.” The group, including Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines, Sneako, Clavicular and known white nationalist Nick Fuentes, is seen motioning the Nazi salute and singing lyrics, “N*gga, Heil Hitler!” The club, Vendome, later issued a statement saying it does not condone antisemitism, hate speech or prejudice. (Although the Miami New Times reported videos appear to show club owner Jonathan Mansour standing alongside the group while West’s song played.) Then another Miami club, El Patio, hosted one of the men. The Latin club also issued an apology statement and claimed it has since banned him, just like other hospitality groups in the area did. Orlando’s Knight Library, however, does not appear to feel the same remorse. The public displays of racism and bigotry in Miami, and subsequent public outcry, had no effect on Knight Library, which hosted neo-Nazi and far-right streaming personality Clavicular Monday night. The bar advertised a “Mandatory Monday” event with the “special guest,” plus DJs Jammy and Mike Ri. The event flyer was shared on its social media pages and website prior to Monday and again on the day. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters and is reported to be 20 years old, is a streamer whose platform centers on “looksmaxxing,” a controversial practice meant to optimize one’s physical appearance through methods like using crystal meth to keep weight off and facial “bone smashing.” It’s tied to the far-right-associated incel community and often focuses on eugenics and prioritizes white-associated facial features. In his online content, Peters uses racial, antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ+ slurs and rhetoric against women. In December, video circulated of him appearing to hit someone with a Tesla Cybertruck. His visit to Knight Library Monday night is documented on his Kick page, a streaming platform similar to Twitch. The original video has since been made private, but clips of it are still publicly available on his page. Peters is seen entering Knight Library with a group and being walked to the DJ booth. He’s greeted by applause, shouts and smiles from what appears to be a crowd filled with mostly males. He’s introduced by the DJs to the crowd and takes photos with people behind the booth at the bar, which is geared toward college-aged individuals.
