Basically a meat-bot

____________
Named after an unpopular peninsula in France and with a "porcelain" beauty, Pettibone is one of the Alt-Right's premier e-THOTS. Her surname, evocative of a small penis, is also deeply "problematic."

After the Alt-Right's simp wells started to run dry in 2019, she finally decided to marry some guy (Austrian ex-Neo-Nazi and identitarian Martin Sellner) at the advanced age of 27. She made up for her lack of nubile and pristine youthfulness by being taller than him.


As an e-THOT, it can safely be assumed that she has no ideas, originality, or authenticity of her own worth commenting on. So, why even mention her in a serious compendium like this?

The main and perhaps only reason to keep tabs on Brittany is as an "historical artefact" demonstrating how the combination of social media and thottery became conduits for the degenerative sub-intellectual and sub-ideological content that undermined the once potent force known as the Alt-Right. From a high-IQ, "Apollonian" movement, forging a future spiritual and philosophic elite, it instead transmuted into an impotent, infantalised, emotionalised, and over-feminised hot mess, which is where it kind of remains today.

Characters like Brittany played their part in this tragic downward spiral. 


Luckily, I don't have to do all the tedious research to demonstrate this, as a hard-working academic at a Dutch university has spent years trawling through Pettibone's Twitter and other social media to build up a convincing picture of how she was turned from an apolitical airhead with a petty interest in sci-fi writing into part of the mooing herd of Alt-Righters stumbling off the conspiritard and meme cliffs. 

The academic, Professor Ico Maly details how Pettibone was a nobody on Twitter with low engagement until she started to pick up on the noise generated by the Alt-Right and Trump's presidential run, and started to tentatively chime in, about one month before the election in November 2016.

Her breakthrough came when she latched onto a story from a British tabloid about the psychological effects of sex on children. This was the first tweet of hers that got a big response (32 likes and 63 retweets), but it is not known how much of this response was generated by bots.

At this time, it should be remembered that Russian bot farms, under the control of the Russian Internet Research Agency, were working furiously to push #pedogate, #pizzagate, and #podestagate conspiracy theories in order to undermine Trump's opponent in the election, Hillary Clinton.

Hooked by the attention, Pettibone, without clearly examining, verifying, or in any way understanding the conspiracy theories she was pushing, enthusiastically jumped aboard the train.

As explained by Professor Maly:


The real breakthrough moment of Pettibone on Twitter occurred when she started to engage with the Podesta emails. In October and November 2016, Wikileaks released 20,000 emails allegedly from Podesta, an American political consultant with close relations with the Clintons and the Democratic party. Pettibone very quickly surfed on the hype surrounding the Podesta email leak and mobilized several hashtags that proved to be crucial in generating uptake. Her first Podesta tweet used the hashtag #podestaEmails28 and managed to get over one thousand retweets and likes. In that post, Pettibone links to a thread from the infamous pro-Trump-reddit /r/The_Donald as “proof” that the Democratic party organized pedophilia rings. The whole thread is based on one email from performance artist Marina Abramovic to John Podesta in which she says that she is ‘looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place’.

By that point, Pettibone was well and truly hooked, a mere cog in Putin's disinfo and disruption machine, and 
part of the downward spiral of a meta-political movement that had been hijacked to achieve petty political goals, and even pettier geopolitical ones.

Yes, Pettibone, like so many in the Alt-Right, was merely an unwitting meat-bot.

  1. Only one month before Trump's election she gained wider reach? From my memory speaking this seems wrong because I blended out Americal politics a few months after that and at that time she was already well known. I recall a kind of relief to see a young, beautiful womand supporting us in the run-up to the elections. It was a new and unusual experience then, probably still is.
