That what nihilists are calling themselves these days?
Just to clarify. This is misinformation. OP is lying. The New York Times and other news outlets reported the bombing the same day, then gave more details 12-24 hours later.
This person is a liar. This is disinformation.

Are you completely illiterate, or do you just make things up for fun?
THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOMBER AT THE LINK YOU PROVIDED. NONE.
Before accusing others of lying get your own fucking facts straight.
One thing that has always seemed a bit ironic to me about any kind of anti-natalist is if they're so sure that bringing another being into existence is cruel to that being, why don't they kill themselves instead of trying to shame others or bomb clinics? Sure, they didn't consent to being here, but there's other options that don't involve needing to stay here.
And no, this isn't advocating suicide, but more calling out BS on the entire position because they do consent to remaining here.
why don’t they kill themselves instead of trying to shame others or bomb clinics?
IMO if our society made painless suicide achievable many would choose it. Even with a terminal medical condition, euthanasia is very expensive and nearly impossible even in places it is legal.
It's not blacked out in the US, it is all over the news.
This post was created Saturday night at 10:30 PM. This information was not being reported at any U.S. news site at that time.
You're complaining that 2 days later something in this post is no longer accurate?
The first reports about the bomb happened within hours of the attack, with the details being reported in the US over the next 24 hours. Not a suppression.
There were zero details reported about the bomber in the U.S. at 10:30pm PDT on Saturday night. You obviously weren't searching for information at that time, despite your claims otherwise.
Making an issue about this 2 days later is ridiculous and discussion with a contrarian is always a waste of time.
As I said, we heard that it happened that same day without details. The information regarding the bomber came a 12-24 hours later.
You should always call out conspiracy theories such as this. How would the US suppress this? Most of us talk to people in other countries. Suppression of this story is just a dumb conspiracy.
Here are the facts: You are a liar. You are spreading disinformation. The person that posted this is lying. They are spreading disinformation.

Wow. You claim I'm lying in a post correctly identifying the bomber made less than 12 hours after the bombing and also confidently state, "The information regarding the bomber came a 12-24 hours later."
Two months on Lemmy, you know everything, have zero content submission, and think you are so amazing that you can lecture others. You are nothing but a troll.
I reported your post for disinformation.
This seems like mental illness with some terrorism on top. I'm willing to bet that a robust mental health care system could have prevented it.
Yeah, but who can afford one of those?
Bombs to blow up brown kids won't just buy themselves you know.
But hear me out, what if the terrorist just went to church, and talked to the priest, for free?
(Yes, right-wing politicians really think like that)
I resent having no means to have consented to my existence as the next nihilist, but you don't see me taking it out on everybody else. Just take antidepressants and bitch on the Internet like a civilized misanthrope.
I think this is my favorite comment of the day.
A part of me understands his resentment for life but dude. Just go rent a sports car and drive it off of a cliff. Instead of hurting others.
He seems to deliberately chosen a day when the offices were closed, so perhaps he wasn't trying to hurt other people. It would have been so much worse if this had been done on a weekday.

I have seen this kind of statement in some other place multiple times... guess this guy really didn't find any beauty in life. It is hard to take seriously that someone would really go there this far.. he could have just killed him self
