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.

freakin sweet, this totally won't be used as a pretext to criminalize not using meta/twitter/reddit

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

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.

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.

[-] turtle@lemm.ee 28 points 23 hours ago

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

These people are like the photo-negitive of Eugenicists.

anti-natalists present with reactionary ideology since they're obsessed with what other people are doing with their bodies. And they advocate for a totalitarian state to regulate that. But then they're also obsessed with environmentalism?

Maybe their lefty misanthropes? I don't get it.

If you read some of the other comments here, it's more like they're the two sides of the same coin. Eugenicists want to kill poor and other disadvantaged people and antinatalists (at least going by the bomber's comments) want primarily poor people not to have kids, although they seem to try to dress it up as not wanting anyone to have kids. Who knows, this is all pretty fringe stuff.

His last comment contained "and that wellness is hard to measure since society does not allow people to express how they truly feel about things."

Too true.
