Sadly i think this is an incident of the bomber and victim of abuse not being able to see reality beyond his experience of it.

He likely suffered at the hands of his father and/or mother and saw their ages/who they were when they had him and projected that out into the world that people shouldn't be having children.

If you have kids, what they see at home, unless they grow and meditate alot is what they will believe is normal in the world.

This is common friggin sense, but apparently not behavior, but people gotta be good to their kids. Yikes.

Holy Shit. What a dumbass.

Is other people’s choice to have kids or not really the hill you want to die on??

Well anyways, if this article is legit, looks like we’ll have a couple FBI agents joining us here. Welcome!

Finally some exposure for Lemmy in the news.

Quoting the article

"I’m glad I’m an extremist,” he wrote. “Makes me WAY less tethered to this turd of a planet.

Very very screwed up. People like him are dangerous to society.

Fucked up if true. I don't like kids and I'd never have any myself but it's fucked up to deprive others of that choice, especially those misfortunate enough to be infertile against their wishes, and to do so by murder of innocent souls.

I do find it odd that lemmy's first major insident isn't from .ml or any other Tankie instance, it's .world.

Does speak to the mismanagement of the moderation. This dude was fucked up in the head and only taken care of after this terrorist incident. You can call out moderators and be banned, you can be a dickhead edge lord who would later be a terrorist, and never get touched until the mods deal with it after.

So this guy is 25, and his dad is 75. Hm.

Hasn’t talked to his dad in a decade. Dad did stalk him out on Instagram to cyber bully him about 4 years ago, though. Hmm.

Mom’s age isn’t listed here, but she’s 63. 12 years younger. Honestly was expecting a larger age gap. Same last name as Sophie. Hmmm.

The father: Despite my past history of both alleged and documented abuse, restraining orders, estranged family, and seemingly multiple people in my orbit that have expressed a hatred for living, I want you all to know I consider myself to be a loving father and a good person.

How did they connect the user to this account though? Post history doesnt show anything that could lead to it.

Using the same username is not proof they're the same person online.

transphobes continue to be weird losers, shocking

Idk why but I feel bad for this dude. Like maybe if a couple things had gone differently in his life he wouldn't have ended up doing this. Like if this dude had been born a bit earlier before the Internet could connect him to bizarre and radical views like this, he probably would have been fine. Anyway, that kind of explains a bunch of comments I saw on another post about this bombing defending the bomber, they were probably part of the same sublemmy that radicalized him.

In those public postings, Bartkus argued that procreation without consent of the unborn is unethical and unjustifiable in a world struggling with environmental harm, violence and overpopulation.

Such a strange paradox.

People on this thread are quick to blame "society" for his actions, which is fair. But I'd like to point out that social media is a huge part of society in the modern world.
Lemmy has a pattern of edgy people advocating for violence against their political and ideological opponents. That culture can radicalize people, and push already radicalized people over the edge, and when that happens it usually looks less like Luigi and more like this.
You just gotta ask yourself if this is behavior you want to encourage, deliberately or no.

We've got to do something about these mods, folks.

Expect more as the stressors in society increase

This is the result of people feeling hopeless in a dying world

Instead of fixing the domestic abuse, economy, and environmental issues that led to this we will increase spending on our police state to kill anyone who dissents.

We can clutch pearls all day about how horrible this 25 year old is, but we would be doing the same in his situation because the things he experienced lead people there.

Expect these kinds of things to happen more
