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.

    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.

              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.
