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.

If the relationship between liberals and Nazis (NOT saying they're even remotely equivalent) isn't clear to you, then i don't know what to say.

Not trying to be glib. Maybe I'm just too deep into the socialist literature to relate to regular people anymore.

Oh I'm well aware of the relationship, but if you call CNN Stormfront, you've completely lost the plot. Things can be problematic without everyone being a Nazi, and in a time with real Nazis out in the open doing things, crying wolf is actively harmful.

CNN's position on genocide is at least as bad as Stormfront's.

OK so you get my point and I get yours, so where are we disagreeing? I don't think stormfront is anything but a glib jab at mainstream liberal norms for enabling fascism/Nazism. I really don't think it's a bad thing to point out.
