In a YouTube discussion last year that was highlighted in a report by the German broadcaster ZDF, Seibt discussed an attack on a synagogue in Halle that killed two people who were outside the temple, and said Jews were considered to be at the top of groups who were seen as being oppressed. Ordinary Germans, she said, were at the bottom. Muslims, she added, were somewhere in between.
...
When Seibt was challenged by German reporters about whether the remarks could be seen as antisemitic, Seibt replied: If someone perceives [my remarks] as meaning something different, well, then of course I cannot influence this perception.
In another YouTube interview describing her embrace of views that were outside the mainstream, Seibt referred to the Canadian alt-right internet activist Stefan Molyneux as an inspiration.
Molyneux has been described as an alleged cult leader who amplifies scientific racism, eugenics and white supremacism by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremism and white supremacy.

Never play chess with a pigeon.
The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.
Then shits all over the board.
Then struts around like it won.
And all the pigeon's idiot followers will believe it won as well.
