Imagine my surprise reading this on the LA Times this morning (emphasis mine):

“I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form of rape,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely...”

Here is an archive of the article.

Here is his account.

It looks like he only stayed on Lemmy for about a month, most likely a temporary Reddit exile with the earliest exodus on June 2023. The article mentions threads on Reddit but doesn't provide any quotes from there. User IndictEvolution on Reddit deleted their account, and the article makes it sound like they are referring to a different username that they don't specify.

I love how quickly lemmy.world speed ran the aesthetically lib to fash redditor pipeline problem without even a profit motive behind them.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean lemmy.world aims to be Reddit 2, and reddit had jailbait, fatpeoplehate, the_donald, keeps Gamergate subreddits open, r/conspiracy, and so many more horrid things kept up because it made more clicks.

So why wouldn't lemmy.world keep an active terrorist on board? Think of the potential money to be made.

lmao, the only mod action on his account was removing him as the mod of [email protected] three days ago, after he was already dead.

Which was the day after the bombing, FBI must have been up LW’s ass pretty quick.

Malthusians, you want to stop new births and yet you don't target Elon Musk, who coincidentally is also a billionaire? Smh.

Wonder if the wayback machine can find anything from reddit or if we can find their account on lemmy.

Fuckin wild and 100% un-surprised it was .world lol

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

I linked his account on Lemmy.world in the original post. I couldn't find an active account on Reddit though, unless the LA Times reporters used the wayback machine themselves to see his old posts. I'm sure that they would be on wayback machine, but the article mentions a different web handle associated with him.

These weirdo antinatalists and their misanthropic ideology are very dangerous. They often like to hide their true intentions behind pseudo progressive opinions.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't think they even do hide them very good, they are scratched really fast. Worse is that malthusianism runs pretty shallow under mainstream liberalism and is reproduced by white supremacy.

100% guarantee that he also had a Steam account and wore pants at some point in his life.

In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark.

I'm just proud they know we exist.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The implication here is that somehow that's a problem with lemmy and lemmy.world...but I bet he also had an amazon account and no one is blaming them.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

I didn't read it as any particular implication, but that they just found the money quotes they wanted on lemmy.world.

Of course he was a .worlder lmao. That instance is really never beating the allegations.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (4 children)

People fighting over instances is fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

Not really tho. Some instances talk a big game about their cOnCeRnS when defederating from the explicitly leftist instances but then let fascists of every ilk say the wildest shit as long as it's directed to whomever is the villain of the month for libs.

Our very first terrorist. We're going places boyos. Just hope this doesn't bring like minded people here, especially since reddit banned that sub, and Lemmy's is still up.
