The car bombing outside a California fertility clinic that killed one person and injured four others appears to have been driven by anti-natalist ideology, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the incident.
The suspect, identified by authorities as Guy Edward Bartkus, is believed to have carried out Saturday’s explosion, which resulted in his own death.
Investigators are focusing on social media posts made by the suspect, including a 30-minute audio recording, which they say support anti-natalist views. While the posts and the recording are still being verified, officials believe they reflect the ideology behind the bombing. Anti-natalism refers to the belief that no one should have children.
Hasn’t Elon been complaining about anti-natalists being the worst people alive? Seems awfully convenient that all of the sudden there’d be something for that dipshit to point at as “proof” anti-natalists are evil.
This immediately makes me think this is a plot to make “anti-natalism” considered terrorism. Not a single person I know of who is against having kids is radical about it, but oh man are the pro birth weird Christians sure radical about it.
This is very much my concern as well.
Don’t want kids? Straight to jail.
Birth quotas incoming
Gay? Straight to jail.
Anti natalist… I doubt they’d have to do something so overt to reduce humanities birth rate. This has false flag written all over it. And correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the religious right that’s anti fertility clinic?

No they’re anti-abortion and anti-birth management, not anti-fertility. Religious nuts are hypocrites and what part of the Bible talks about IVF? Prolly none.
It might genuinely just be a bitter angry person. I don’t even like to call it an ideology, they just complain they had no choice in whether they were brought to this world, ans and since the world sucks, they pretend like if somehow they could’ve chosen, they would’ve chosen not to even live, which makes no sense, as then they’d never have been a person with the capacity to think that. It’s paradoxical, is my point.
I wouldn’t be surprised that just general whackos like that do exist, but yeah, you’re right, it wouldn’t be out of line to false flag it to create even further infighting in the states.
To be honest it’s probably not even much of a challenge for some Russian disinfo agents to convince someone to firebomb shit like that. When people are denied healthcare and housing and the streets are flooded with opioids and guns, it doesn’t take much to find a person easy to manipulate.
So it might be both “real” and also politically puppeteered. That would make the most sense, honestly, but we need to remember that these sort of ultraviolent psychopaths aren’t really… thinking straight.
We’d like to make it make sense, but acts of violence rarely do.
Did not have that one on my Crazy Shit 2025 bingo card
Did the suspect denounce Trump? If not, why is the FBI involved?
“Guy Edward Bartkus? Thats a devil name”
Dick Butkiss? You hear that coach, he’s cursing!
With the cuntservatives pushing their antiabortion agenda, makes sense some people are going to believe the opposite.
