Martin Sellner

Martin Sellner is an Austrian identitarian alt-right figure who makes it very hard not to violate Godwin's law. Although one might think this Austrian is behind Gates of Vienna, that's not his.
Sellner, leader of the Austrian branch of Generation Identity (German: Identitäre Bewegung Österreich, IBÖ), is married to American professional racist writer Brittany Sellner (neé Pettibone).Kate Schneider, "Far-right activists refused entry to the UK," News.com.au, Mar. 14, 2018, accessed Sep. 16, 2019.
Sellner has been blocked from entry into the USA and United Kingdom. He and fellow Austrian identitarians such as (article in German) nevertheless continue to travel to alt-right rallies elsewhere, sometimes with Jared Taylor, Kevin MacDonald, Greg Johnson, Fróði Midjord, and other such milk people.
In the past, he openly used to be a neo-Nazi and a Holocaust denier until 2011 when he decided to advertise far-right ideas in a more "hip" and palatable way.https://www.zeit.de/campus/2017/05/rechtradikalismus-martin-sellner-instagramRead: covering up the inherent repugnance of the whole concept and hoping nobody notices. 
Sellner of course is practically still a neo-Nazi but realised he can attract more followers by replacing overt Nazi imagery with new aesthetics. He has a criminal conviction for posting swastikas on the walls of a synagogue and was sentenced to carry out 100 hours of unpaid community service.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47822454https://www.heute.at/s/sellner-klebte-hakenkreuze-an-synagoge-43242355
==Connection to the Christchurch Terrorist ==
In 2019, Austrian police conducted raids on Sellner's residence in Vienna after it came to their knowledge that Sellner had been in contact with the perpetrator of the Christchurch terrorist attacks."Austrian authorities raid far-right group over alleged links to Christchurch shooter," The Guardian, Mar. 26, 2019, accessed Sep. 16, 2019. He received from the terrorist a donation in the sum of 1500 Euros.https://www.fr.de/politik/hausdurchsuchung-martin-sellner-wegen-spende-christchurch-attentaeter-11912425.html He furthermore denounced the act of terrorism and declared that the perpetrator was an "enemy of peaceful patriots".
