I overestimated the popularity of that quote!
It's as described elsewhere in the thread. She was an academic with good but incomplete early work, that pivoted hard into the conspiracy world. However because of some almost spooky but incidental similarities to the excellent Naomi Klein, the two were constantly mistaken for one another.
I highly recommend Klein's book Doppleganger. It's an analysis of the modern tech/media space that I imagine would very much appeal to the Fediverse user base.
