Prior to his 2016 transformation into an alt-right personality, Gionet was initially a rapper and Internet prankster. He later worked as a commentator for ''BuzzFeed'', where he supported libertarian and progressive political positions and marched in support of Black Lives Matter. In 2016, Gionet turned to the politics of [[Donald Trump]] and the alt-right in what he described as a rejection of "political correctness". By 2017, Gionet's political views had radicalized; that year, he began to use his social media platform and Internet activism to promote racist ideology and antisemitic conspiracy theories. He also played a prominent role in the 2017 white supremacist [[Unite the Right rally]] in Charlottesville, Virginia. | Prior to his 2016 transformation into an alt-right personality, Gionet was initially a rapper and Internet prankster.

On social media, Gionet has frequently promoted the [[Fourteen Words]], a white supremacist slogan. He has also hosted an online talk show in which he interviewed far right personalities such as neo-Nazi [[Richard Spencer]]. He was permanently banned from Twitter after posting a photoshopped image of [[Laura Loomer]], a Jewish far-right activist, inside a [[gas chamber]]. | |||
At the beginning of 2019, Gionet claimed to have abandoned the alt-right and released videos in which he denounced the alt-right and meme culture as sources of terrorism and violence. As part of an attempt to rebrand himself, he gave a series of interviews condemning the alt-right and expressed plans to establish a non-profit organization in order to teach anti-racism to white supremacists. However, in November of the same year, Gionet reverted to his earlier politics, professing far-right ideology and collaborating with the white nationalist [[Groypers|Groyper]] movement. He then began to earn notoriety for his livestreams, in which he would antagonize or harass bystanders, resulting in an assault charge in December 2020. | At the beginning of 2019, Gionet claimed to have abandoned the alt-right and released videos in which he denounced the alt-right and meme culture as sources of terrorism and violence.
