https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justine_Tunney:

> In 2012, Tunney started working for Google as a software engineer.[4] In March 2014, Tunney petitioned the US government on We the People to hold a referendum asking for support to retire all government employees with full pensions, transfer administrative authority to the technology industry, and appoint the executive chairman of Google Eric Schmidt as CEO of America.[5][6] Tunney has been inspired by the political views of Curtis Yarvin.[7]

This person seems to be extremely online and Wikipedia has a petty high bar for inclusion of things like that. I wouldn't be surprised of their social media was littered with even more extreme things (like support of slavery, which the talk page mentions).

Thanks! I don't know, a cheeky petition and an off-hand tweet don't seem conclusive or comprehensive to me.

Of course, but if it's managed to make it on to Wikipedia, it's probably the tip of the iceberg.

Feel free to make the conclusive and comprehensive survey of their online presence, and report back your findings.

I tried pretty hard, but even the Wikipedia refs are just people (wildly) extrapolating from the petition. I'm not saying these aren't her beliefs, I'm just saying we don't have enough to know, definitely not enough to cancel her, which this thread feels like it's about.

I think to get what you asked you're going to have to directly read their social media and other writings for the last N years and form an impression, keeping in mind self-censorship doesn't mean a change in core beliefs. Following wikipedia refs isn't going to cut it. We're not talking about a public figure here, but an extremely online regular person/minor internet celebrity.

No, if people want to walk around calling someone some kind of fascist they need receipts. Anything else is repugnant Internet brigading that has no place on HN.
