A fire, a fascination with explosives and family discord marked path to clinic bombing
www.latimes.com
Guy Edward Bartkus is the sole suspect in the bomb attack at a Palm Springs fertility clinic last Saturday. In the years leading up to the incident, his life was touched by family acrimony and a keen interest in explosives.

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.

    Lemmy.ml is seen as “bad” on Lemmy .world everywhere else because the average opinion of Marxism-Leninism on Lemmy.world is negative of how tankies behave, but that’s not the case everywhere we like to pretend otherwise. If you aren’t hostile to MLs tables or tell the truth about countries were in love with, Lemmy.ml is fine.

      What a colorful modlog you have, frequently suicide baiting and complaining about Marxists. Always funny to check the modlogs of people most upset about Lemmy.ml.

      Lemmy.ml is generally seen as fine, or positively among instances like Hexbear.net and whatnot. Users hostile to Marxists tend to also be hostile to Lemmy.ml, users pro-Marxism tend to be fine with it.

        Am I supposed to care what the terrible mods on this site think of me? Little weird of you to go crawling around there like it’s relevant but go off

        Lemmy.ml is generally seen as fine, or positively among instances like Hexbear.net and whatnot.

        I love how you immediately jump to an even worse regarded instance as if that’s going to help your point

        Keep pretending y’all aren’t shitty tankies and aren’t hated by most of the rest of the site, you look like a bigger idiot than normal doing it!

          I mean, you’ve been banned many times for telling other users to kill themselves, tried to claim calling a user “guy” isn’t misgendering them, and seem to just be generally toxic. It’s nice as a bit of confirmation that those who complain the loudest about Marxists also generally are toxic people. I wouldn’t call the mods removing your suicide baiting comments and transphobic remarks “shitty.”

          Hexbear.net is worse regarded among people who hate Marxists, yes. As a Marxist, I don’t really hold the opinions of those hostile to Marxists as particularly important, the driving divide is in people’s position on Marxism. If I went into a MAGA conference, I would expect to be hated as well, but I wouldn’t care much either. Anti-Communism is the biggest division, those supportive of Communism tend to be okay with the Marxist-aligned instances.
