Martin Sellner:

He began engaging with nationalist and neo-Nazi ideologies as a teenager. Received mentorship by Gottfried Küssel, a prominent neo-Nazi figure in Austria; Küssel was later imprisoned from 2011 to 2020 for attempts to revive Nazism. Sellner is co-founder of the Identitarian Movement in Austria (2012) - Generation Identity. Established as a branch of the pan-European Identitarian movement, advocating for European "ethnopluralism" and opposing multiculturalism. GI are know for known for using cross-platform “guerrilla-style” tactics to evade bans and maintain visibility. Sellner’s ideological beliefs are often mis-represented as ‘patriotic’ and “activism” to deflect from its extremism nature. He mirrors racial pseudo intelluctuals such as Richard Spencer, by writing justifications for racial ideological notions and fallacies.

Brittany Pettibone, Sellner’s wife, is known for promoting extreme white power conspiratorial narratives such as “white genocide” and QAnon-style theories; she was also banned from the UK in 2018.

Austrian authorities classify Generation Identity as a criminal group, despite its attempt to present itself as a non-governmental activist organization. Sellner and GI much like Richard Spencer (USA) uses distinct iconography and branded visuals to cultivate a "respectable" public facade, masking an underlying extremist agenda, as noted by researchers and NGO’s like Hope Not Hate. Sellner carefully manages his public statements, often claiming that his controversial remarks are “misinterpreted” or “accidental”

• Promotes "white Christian identity" and European cultural homogeneity

• Advocates for "remigration" policies aimed at deporting non-European immigrants

• Opposes Islam, advancing the faux "Great Replacement" theory, which claims European populations are being "replaced" by non-European immigrants

• Espouses "ethnopluralism," which superficially advocates for cultural preservation but promotes racial separatism
