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