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.
The childfree subreddit was pretty toxic, too. Calling people with kids mombies cause they think they’re better than them. 🙄
Or calling the kids crotchspawn and wombfruit. Like bruh I get it, y’all ain’t having kids, fair play, but there’s no need for the weird slur nonsense.
Tbf crotchspawn has been around for many years. Patton Oswald used it in a stand up about a decade ago.
I call my kids crotch goblins to other adults often. One of them is basically a goblin at this point so it’s funny to me and my wife. People need to stop treating parenthood as sacred. Kids are adults in training and it’s OK to joke about them a bit.
Please tell me the “goblin” is a Louise from Bob’s burgers type.
So much worse unfortunately. More the type of i now understand why PURPLE is a thing. I don’t really have a temper anymore, but i still had to just leave the room several times over the 2 years of continuous crying. This kid would’ve broken any experienced parent. It was bad enough that she broke our nanny and now daycare.
She is cute as shit though. Extremely stubborn and tough as nails. I may have Stockholm syndrome, but I like her now.
Little shit may have found a home. Not happy/likely obligated about it.
They are pretty funny, though.
Not producing more children when so many are abandoned and the planet is dying is morally superior to people who create extra lives in the same situation.
My wife and I have decided we don’t want kids. We’re telling them tonight. Badum-tish.
I saw a comment like this years ago. Its why I called it that the child free movement would create radical idiots like in the article. Radical idiots usually require an assumption of moral superiority.
Radical idiots who commit suicide?
I’m sorry but you get 0 hate from me when society makes you snap but you still care enough not to actually hurt others
Maybe get mad about mass shooters instead of who FOX tells you to?
Wut? Suicide doesn’t exclude radical idiots, probably more inclusive.
I’m not saying being child free is a bad thing. The problem with the movement is it overlaps with the same group that co-opted the incel movement. Involuntary celibacy started as a support group that slowly morphed into a hate group. Child free has very similar vibes to early incel behavior imo.
There’s no problem with the movement
The problem is with you and the propaganda you internalized.
Trying to link antinatalism and incels is some seriously pathetic mental gymnastics
Im one of the people that broke free of the propaganda you’re assuming consumes me. Was raised on fox News and educated myself out of it.
There is no problem with the child free movement or whatever you want to call it. Its not you that is the problem.
The person who founded the incel movement is a trans women who is pissed it was co-opted. You are swallowing propaganda that child free is immune to this shit.
None of what you have said has shown you have broken free from that propaganda. Considering you’re still pushing it.
For clarity, I have 2 kids now. I’ve seen both sides of this world.
I watched the community start 14 years ago when i was a part of it on reddit. Its falling apart, just like the incel movement.
The common theme between the two is hating women if you are wondering.
