It’s still possible that Trump has gotten his wires crossed and thinks it’s an American thing. All it takes is one of his Russian handlers to mention that that’s how it works in Russian and for him assume it’s the same in the US. His brain isn’t great with nuance after all. It’s not like he understands the hows or whys of preexisting policies anyway.

Have you read his book? If not good because it’ll kill some of your brain cells if you do. But there’s nothing inherently wrong with writing a bad book. Most writers first book won’t be great but shadow of the conquer has more problems than just being bad. In it the main character a former genocidal, mass murdering, serial rapist does nothing to redeem himself but gets forgiven anyhow by all the rape victims who got pregnant from the involuntary intercourse because they’re so happy with their kids.

It has some troubling attitudes towards a great many things (mainly women) and those attitudes are presented by the book as self evident and true. I find it very telling of the man who wrote it.

“Looksmaxxing has drawn criticism because some influencers promote dangerous techniques to change their appearance, including striking or damaging their jawbones and other risky practices.”-from the article.

The looksmaxxing guys have a thing they call bonesmashing where they will hit their jaws with hammers or other implements in order to break it a little. This is done so they can reshape it as it heals. This is a repeated process. The jaw is broken and reshaped continually until they look a little more like the cartoonish over exagerated jawline of the chads from those chad memes. No I’m not kidding and no this is not done with any kind of medical supervision.
