==Hatred Day and Virtue of the West==
===Hatred Day===
Continuing the apparent alt-right trend of writing shoddy fiction with the suffix 'Day', Sellner (as Pettibone) is co-author of the Hatred Day book series alongside her twin sister Nicole, under the pen name T.S. Pettibone (previously N.B. Pettibone).
===Virtue of the West===
Sellner has very strong ties to the alt-right, despite claiming that she herself isn't a racist. She co-hosted a webcast called Virtue of the West with British white supremacist Tara McCarthy, one of the most extreme racists on YouTube; its GoFundMe was taken down by the site as promoting hate speech. Sellner has also been a guest on McCarthy's Reality Calls webcast.
==Alt-right activism==
===ADL Hate List===
Unsurprisingly, her actions led her to be listed on the ADL's hate group list.https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/from-alt-right-to-alt-lite-naming-the-hate Sellner responded that BLM, Antifa, and were the "actual violent extremist groups".https://web.archive.org/web/20170719201848/https:/twitter.com/BrittPettibone/status/887462828323598336
===Generation Identity===
She was a part of Defend Europe.http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-farright-millennials-idUSKBN1A61J6
===Pizzagate and other conspiracy theories===
===Schrödinger's white nationalist===
Sellner's stances on white nationalism have been contradicting, vague, and unusual to say the least. In an interview with Tim Pool, she denied allegations that she was a racist or white nationalist:
However, in another video she stated that "civic nationalism" can't work which seemed to imply support of white nationalism:
Sellner also described the following passage as "wise words":
She has said that too much immigration "dilutes a country's identity".https://web.archive.org/web/20190322211909/https://twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/790200849003900932 Pettibone also regularly reposts white nationalist propaganda on "white genocide". There is a case to make that whether she is just sympathetic and supportive of white nationalists, or is one, the effect is the same.
Sellner also continues to support and promote the work of open unapologetic white supremacists and eugenicists such as McCarthy, Stefan Molyneux and Russian-American white nationalist radio host Lana Lokteff, as well as other racists such as YouTuber 'Blonde In The Belly Of The Beast'.Yes, that is the name of her YouTube channel. Sellner has refused to publicly disavow any of these people's racist statements or views.Sound familiar? But of course, she wants you to know she totally isn't a racist white supremacist herself.https://web.archive.org/web/20190322052614/https:/twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/868172283491360768
