He founded the [[Alt-Right]] media network ''[[The Right Stuff]]'' and podcast ''The Daily Shoah''. Through his work, Peinovich ridicules African Americans and other racial minorities, advocates racial discrimination, and promotes conspiracy theories such as [[Holocaust denial]] and [[Great Replacement|white genocide]].<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/08/21/white-nationalist-organization-forms-racist-antisemitic-political-party White Nationalist Organization Forms Racist, Antisemitic Political Party], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref> Peinovich has also drawn attention for his participation in neo-Nazi rituals such as [[book burning]]s.<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/05/01/prolific-alt-right-propagandists-identity-confirmed Prolific Alt-Right Propagandist's Identity Confirmed], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref> Even though he runs ''The Right Stuff'', ironically, he has a half black brother and a wife of Jewish ancestry.

==''The Right Stuff''==
''The Right Stuff'' (TRS) is a white nationalist, neo-fascist, and neo-Nazi blog founded by Enoch that hosts several podcasts, including ''The Daily Shoah'' and ''Fash the Nation'' as well ''Rebel Yell'' (named after the battle cry used by the [[Confederate States of America|Confederates]]) headed by Identity Dixie, a Southern nationalist/neo-Confederate alt-right group modeled after the [[Identitarianism|Identitarian movement]] and [[League of the South]] that is affiliated with TRS. The blog is best known for popularizing the use of "echoes", an antisemitic marker which uses triple parentheses around names used to identify Jews and people of the Jewish faith on social media.<ref>[https://itsgoingdown.org/mike-enoch-peinovich-right-stuff/ Mike Peinovich Unmasked As Leader of "The Right Stuff"]</ref> It is part of the broader alt-right movement in the United States.

''The Right Stuff'' was one of the first websites to make use of the term "cuckservative", long before the epithet attracted mainstream attention.<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/08/07/getting-cucky-brief-primer-radical-right%E2%80%99s-newest-%E2%80%98cuckservative%E2%80%99-meme Getting Cucky: A Brief Primer On The Radical Right's Newest 'C---servative' Meme], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref> The Anti-Defamation League notes that ''The Right Stuff'', like other similar organizations including [[Identity Evropa]] (now [[American Identity Movement]]), ''[[the Daily Stormer]]'' (an infamous neo-Nazi website founded by [[Andrew Anglin]]) and [[Vanguard America]] (rebranded as Patriot Front), has also coalesced into a network of regional groups known as "TRS Pool Parties" to coordinate activities in the real world, such as posting fliers promoting "white heritage" in various cities and universities in the United States and Canada.

===''The Daily Shoah''===
First broadcast in August 2014 and published weekly (and now three times every week), ''The Daily Shoah's'' name is a parody of ''The Daily Show'' and uses the Hebrew language word referring to [[the Holocaust]]. Enoch originally created the show to be edgy and libertarian, and later began sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories around Episode 19, after reading The Culture of Critique by Kevin B. MacDonald.

On the show Enoch, along with co-host Jesse Craig Dunston ("Seventh Son") and a rotating panel of co-hosts and guests (known as "the Death Panel") has addressed topics such as immigration, white nationalism, race relations, feminism, Zionism, anti-globalization and political correctness.

The podcast is widely credited with creating the triple parentheses meme, also known as (((echo))), an antisemitic symbol that has been used to highlight the names of individuals of Jewish ethnicity.<ref>[https://mic.com/articles/144228/echoes-exposed-the-secret-symbol-neo-nazis-use-to-target-jews-online (((Echoes))), Exposed: The Secret Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online], ''Mic.''</ref>

As of January 2017, ''The Daily Shoah'' reportedly had an audience of 100,000 listeners. However, its viewership has been in decline since Enoch was sued for inciting racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021/09/29/inside-far-right-podcast-ecosystem-part-3-rise-and-fall-daily-shoah The Rise and Fall of 'The Daily Shoah'], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref>

==[[Unite the Right rally]]==
Enoch was a scheduled speaker at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a white supremacist rally organized by [[Jason Kessler]]. On his podcast, Enoch urged his followers to bring weapons to the rally in order to intimidate counter-protestors and interviewed organizers Kessler and [[Richard Spencer]].<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022/08/11/unite-right-5-years-later-where-are-they-now 'Unite the Right' 5 Years Later: Where Are They Now?], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref> Several violent incidents occured at the rally, culminating in white supremacist [[James Alex Fields Jr.]] driving his car into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing one and injuring 23. This led to nine Charlottesville residents suing 24 individuals and organizations involved in the rally, including Enoch, for conspiracy to incite racial violence and race-based violence or harassment.<ref>[https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlottesville-nazis-are-headed-to-court-four-years-after-deadly-rally Four Years After Deadly Rally, Charlottesville Nazis Are Headed to Court], ''The Daily Beast''</ref> Enoch, representing himself, later succeeded in having his name dropped from the lawsuit.<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021/10/21/leaked-emails-name-shadow-lawyer-charlottesville-case Leaked Emails Name Shadow Lawyer in Charlottesville Case], Southern Poverty Law Center</ref>
