1/ Meet "GlockDoctor1488."
He's a neo-Nazi Navy vet and firearms instructor who's spent the last year disrupting Drag Queen Story Hours at Lehigh Valley libraries and running his podcast, Alt-Right Armory on @spreaker.
His name is Joseph Berger, age 31, in Bethlehem, PA.pic.twitter.com/ISbQegLfgb
2/ I first spotted Joseph Berger in February 2019, showing up to protest a Drag Queen Story Hour at the Exeter Community Library in Reading, PA. He brought his crew of Nazis, who call themselves the Lehigh Valley Legionnaires, and taped this event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p8NwQ5Ebak&t=1s …
3/ Berger showed up to scream at a bunch of soccer moms, claiming they were "Pushing sex on kids." The far-right loves to push a conspiracy theory that LGBTQIA events are pedophile fronts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO54gNH_h4I …
4/ It's worth talking about why the far-right pushes pedophile conspiracies. The bedrocks of their ideology-- misogyny, patriarchy, gender hierachy-- are the same factors that drive sexual abuse. But fascists need to present themselves as the solution, not the problem.
5/ So they claim that sexual abuse comes from conspiracy theories, not from within a circle of trust. And they use "pedophile" to denounce anything they don't like-- the Democratic Party, antifascists, even library events with drag queens.pic.twitter.com/pl9Zba5p0B
6/ They've even gone so far as to create hoaxes to try to frame antifascists as pedophiles. https://www.thedailybeast.com/alt-right-frames-protesters-as-pedophiles-with-fake-nambla-sign …
7/ So they frame their enemies-- antifascists, the Democratic Party, even just "Jews" as a general class-- as being responsible for the harms caused by the very ideologies they reify: patriarchy, misogyny, and gender hierarchies.pic.twitter.com/rRRzivPFev
8/ Anyway, I next saw Joseph Berger in April 2019, when he came out to a show by the neo-Nazi black metal band Horna at Jabber Jaws in Allentown, PA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLCUbCvFqF0 …
9/ Antifascists created pressure campaigns to force venues not to host the Nazi band, getting approximately half of their US tour dates cancelled.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1111068186298990592 …
https://twitter.com/whiteswanlive/status/1111057925089443840 …10/ Berger doesn't even like black metal. He just came out that night to support Nazis.
11/ In August 2019, Berger disrupted a Philly Public Library event with former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, screaming "Fuck you, you anti-white piece of shit! You will not replace us!" echoing the chants of the tiki torch march at Unite the Right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0u3kgLbTvI …
13/ I'm *fascinated* by this video. Berger's completely unhinged, muttering to himself as he walks away. "Be careful, get the fuck out." He keeps repeating comments he yelled at the staff to himself in a creepy whisper. https://youtu.be/G0u3kgLbTvI?t=145 …
14/ He hosts a podcast called "Alt-Right Armory" on @Spreaker, where he spends hours talking about the guns he owns, how he loves being a racist, and various far-right conspiracy theories.pic.twitter.com/sZbne2NEAL
15/ Seriously, don't listen to it unless you want to hear him use the n-word all the time and talk about how much he hates Black people and Jews.
I've got them all downloaded in case he tries to take them down.
Why are you hosting this, @Spreaker?
16/ He's also completely paranoid, and has been posting videos about how cops are trying to infiltrate local Republican Party events, even doxxing a cop in a YouTube video.pic.twitter.com/tYKnISFB0R
17/ Berger was working as a security guard at a water park, but we don't have to worry about that these days. When they reopen, I'll be having a chat with them to make sure he isn't rehired.pic.twitter.com/TxYxtVKHqv
18/ I'll also be contacting local shooting ranges, since he used to work as a Range Safety Officer at a Lehigh Valley gun range that I won't name at the moment.pic.twitter.com/FbJaepLXZy
19/ Anyway, if you live in Lehigh Valley, be on the lookout for this 30-year-old Rush Limbaugh in cheap sunglasses. His name is Joseph Berger, aka "GlockDoctor1488" and he runs an alt-right group called the Lehigh Valley Legionnaires.pic.twitter.com/XU75GPNLme
20/ Here's the deal, Nazis. You pull this Nazi shit, and we find you. We make your names public so everyone will fucking hate you. You don't get to work, date, or not be universally reviled. That's just what we do.
21/ Fighting fascism isn't a choice for us. We don't do this for Patreon bucks or for online clout. We win or we die. That's it. So we're going to win.
22/ So if you're a Nazi or thinking about becoming one, know that you're going to be exposed.
The alternative isn't an option for us.
Who protects us?
We protect us.
