Anti-natalism refers to the belief that no one should have children.

I really thought they were trying their hardest to not call him a christian terrorist but this is a whole other flavor of looney.

With kash patel at the helm of the fbi, im pretty suspect at this anti-natalist call, while theres so many radical evangelicals running wild

This article has some of the suspects quotes. He identifies himself as pro-mortalist.

The logic behind it is so dumb.

Bartkus allegedly stated in writings and recordings that he was against bringing people into the world against their will, sources told KCAL.

You cant bring people into this world against their will, because they dont have a will until they are already in this world.

you should check out the anti-natalist sub Reddit. It’s wild filled with circular logic and just mal adjusted people clamoring for some sense of righteousness.
