==Background==
Sellner was born in [[California]] to Theodore and Sabrina Pettibone (née Gurries), with 7 siblings. Her father was a candidate for Governor of [[Kansas]] in 2002 under the [[Reform Party]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/2002/10/31/ted-pettibone-reform.html |title=Ted Pettibone (Reform) |date=October 31, 2002 |work=Fox News |access-date=May 26, 2017 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/134652.html |title=Kathleen Sebelius Defeats Tim Shallenburger |last=WIBW |access-date=May 26, 2017 |language=en}}</ref>

She rose to prominence for her support of [[Donald Trump]];<ref>[http://www.infowars.com/authors-risk-career-publicly-supporting-trump/ Authors Risk Career Publicly Supporting Trump: Political views frowned upon in liberally biased writing community] (October 14, 2016) ''InfoWars''.</ref><ref>[http://www.infowars.com/twitter-purge-of-alt-right/ Twitter Purge of "Alt Right": Censorship of alternative media ramping up as Trump prepares to take office] (November 17, 2016) ''InfoWars''.</ref> along with her promotion of nutcase theories such as [[white genocide]]<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |url=http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/04/far-right-white-supremacists-berkeley-protests-antifa-trump |title=I went behind the front lines with the far-right agitators who invaded Berkeley |work=Mother Jones |access-date=April 20, 2017 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite news |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/blakemontgomery/heres-what-really-happened-at-saturdays-berkeley-riot |title=Here's What Really Happened At Saturday's Berkeley Riot |work=BuzzFeed |access-date=April 20, 2017 |language=en}}</ref> and [[Pizzagate]].<ref>http://observer.com/2017/01/gofundme-pizzagate-podcast-brittany-pettibone</ref> She is also a supporter of [[Russia]] against [[NATO]] and the modern [[West]].<ref>https://twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/816453412992598016</ref><ref>https://gab.com/BrittPettibone/posts/3227789</ref><ref>http://www.searchlightmagazine.com/2017/05/the-growing-nazi-axis/</ref>

Sellner's posts about "white genocide" often include Israeli and communist flags flying in the background.{{fact}} ({{Wpl|Jewish Bolshevism}})

==''Hatred Day'' and ''Virtue of the West''==

{{cquote|An active imagination is so important to writing fiction! Yours must help you a lot with your novels!|||{{wpl|Victoria Aveyard}}<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170422204030/https:/twitter.com/VictoriaAveyard/status/798308504616505344</ref>}}

===Hatred Day===
Continuing the apparent alt-right trend of [[Vox Day|writing shoddy fiction with the suffix 'Day']], Sellner (as Pettibone) is co-author of the ''Hatred Day'' book series alongside her twin sister Nicole, under the pen name '''T.S. Pettibone''' (previously '''N.B. Pettibone''').

===Virtue of the West===
Sellner has very strong ties to the alt-right, despite claiming that she herself isn't a [[racist]]. She co-hosted a webcast called '''''Virtue of the West''''' with British white supremacist [[Tara McCarthy]], one of the most extreme racists on YouTube; its GoFundMe was taken down by the site as promoting hate speech.<ref name="observer">{{Cite news |url=http://observer.com/2017/01/gofundme-pizzagate-podcast-brittany-pettibone/ |title=Alt-Right 'PizzaGate Expert' Starts GoFundMe for Her Podcast, Internet Revolts |date=January 30, 2017 |work=New York Observer |access-date=January 31, 2017}}</ref> Sellner has also been a guest on McCarthy's ''Reality Calls'' webcast.

==Alt-right activism==
===ADL Hate List===
Unsurprisingly, her actions led her to be listed on the [[ADL]]'s hate group list.<ref>https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/from-alt-right-to-alt-lite-naming-the-hate</ref> Sellner responded that [[BLM]], [[Antifa]], and {{wpl|BAMN}} were the "actual violent extremist groups".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170719201848/https:/twitter.com/BrittPettibone/status/887462828323598336</ref>

===Schrödinger's white nationalist===
{{quotebox|'''Brannon1776''': The future of the west depends on those brave enough to be called racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe, xenophobic and not flinch or back down.<br>'''Pettibone''': One of the greatest tweets in the history of Twitter.<ref>https://twitter.com/BrittPettibone/status/815007662785994752</ref>}}

Sellner's stances on white nationalism have been contradicting, vague, and unusual to say the least. In an interview with Tim Pool, she denied allegations that she was a racist or white nationalist:

{{quotebox|'''Pool''': You are not advocating for a white ethnostate in the United States? You don't think that...<br>'''Pettibone''': No.<br>'''Pool''': ...white people should be in charge and that there should be, like, a purging or an ethnic cleansing?<br>'''Pettibone''': No, I don't. I've never advocated for this. What I do--<br>'''Pool''': Are you racist?<br>'''Pettibone''': No. <br>'''Pool''': Do you believe that white people are inherently better than other races? <br>'''Pettibone''': No, I don't think so.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgL9uFnyqAA&t=15m52s</ref>}}

However, in another video she stated that "civic nationalism" can't work which seemed to imply support of white nationalism:

{{quotebox|This is why civic nationalism isn't working and won't work, because of this. So it's based on the idea that as long as you have the same ideology and you love America and you believe in equality then it's gonna work. You know, all the bases of civic nationalism. But the left has made it where or, I don't even know what to call them anymore, these people have made it so we're not equal anymore because of the identity politics. You know, it's like a white straight guy can't even talk. His opinion's worthless. Do you understand what I'm trying to say, like why that would not then work? Because there's such an unequal balance throughout our country now of different groups. If you're an oppressed minority then you're automatically treated way better and so it can't work because of that. It's too divided now and so that's why I don't say I'm a civic nationalist because I don't think it can work.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM2J97WmE3E&t=1h6m25s</ref>}}

Sellner also described the following passage as "wise words":

{{quotebox|[Highlighted passage]:
:"For Aristotle, democracy is possible only within homogeneous ethnic groups, while despots have always reigned over highly fragmented societies.<br>'''A multi-ethnic society is thus necessarily anti-democratic and chaotic''', for it lacks ''philia'', this profound, flesh-and-blood fraternity of citizens. Tyrants and despots divide and rule, they want the City divided by ethnic rivalries. The '''indispensable condition for ensuring people's sovereignty accordingly resides in its unity'''. Ethnic chaos prevents all ''philia'' from developing."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190322212113/https://twitter.com/BrittPettibone/status/942083151559475205</ref>
Tweeted the same page about a month ago. Wise words. For those curious, the page is from “Why We Fight” by {{wpl|Guillaume Faye||.}}<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190322052336/https://twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/951847440990244865</ref>
}}

She has said that too much immigration "dilutes a country's identity".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190322211909/https://twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/790200849003900932</ref> Pettibone also regularly reposts white nationalist propaganda on "white genocide".{{fact}} There is a case to make that whether she is just sympathetic and supportive of white nationalists, or is one, the effect is the same.

Sellner also continues to support and promote the work of open unapologetic [[white supremacy|white supremacists]] and [[eugenics|eugenicists]] such as McCarthy, [[Stefan Molyneux]] and Russian-American white nationalist radio host [[Red Ice Creations|Lana Lokteff]], as well as other racists such as YouTuber '[[Blonde In The Belly Of The Beast]]'.<ref group=note>Yes, that is the name of her YouTube channel.</ref> Sellner has refused to publicly disavow any of these people's racist statements or views.<ref group=note>[[Dave Rubin|Sound familiar?]]</ref> But of course, she wants ''you'' to know she ''totally'' isn't a racist white supremacist herself.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190322052614/https:/twitter.com/brittpettibone/status/868172283491360768</ref>

===Trump advocacy ===
The following are tweets from Sellner before the 2016 presidential election:
