Because being a Nazi isn’t bad enough…

This was one of the harder articles that I’ve written, not because of the research, but because of the fact that I was left feeling quite uncomfortable after all was said and done, between his littering and his creepy behavior.

I’ve got a lot of different projects going of varying size, but this is one that I prioritized, and you’ll see why.

Background

Astro Sockriot, also known as Groowinky, Spowzer Lertwammy, AzonkO ScudsO, WAFFLECHASER (on Gab) or WAFFLE_CHASER (on his suspended Twitter account) is a white supremacist neo-Nazi from New York with a lengthy history of producing eccentric art and low budget films and series.

Astro’s Artistic Endeavors

The Idaho State Journal reported on Sockriot’s film that was being filmed in Old Town Pocatello, Idaho. In the picture that Sockriot provided, he’s standing next to some graffiti after filming one of his films in Astoria, Queens, New York. I’m not sure if that’s where he currently resides, but I believe that he does live somewhere in the state.

After “feeling a little burnt out on the big city life,” Sockriot enrolled at Idaho State University at 24-years-old back in 2003. He enrolled in an independent study program where he studied anthropology, theater history, and sociology. He saved up the money that he made from tutoring foreign students at ISU to team up with some actors from Los Angeles and film a short film called “Hands of a Pusher,” A movie about a man who develops an obsession with a woman who has dedicated her life to the liberation of goats. The film has been shown in small film festivals.

In the article, one of his works called “Pink Winkers” is discussed.

“Pit Winkers” is an absurdist comedy about three people who become fed up with political correctness and join forces to undo the damage caused by politically correct culture. One of the actors is a retired New York City police sergeant who has been horrified by the recent hatred directed toward police officers, Sockriot said.

This was written in 2020, and I’m hoping this officer wasn’t aware of Sockriot’s harmful views. I highly doubt that the journal knew either. All I could really find was a now deleted post talking about Sockriot.

Throughout Sockriots’ filmography and art, there’s an ongoing theme of absurdism, and also fascism.

I first came across Sockriot while I was doing research on Russell James from Machias, Maine, and the creator of The Colchester Collection. James has a channel on BitChute, a competitor with YouTube and a platform that is just rife with neo-Nazis called “TalieVision: Television for a Whiter Future!” James posts interviews, videos glamourizing Hitler, and your average run-of-the-mill neo-Nazi content.

This collection also includes two series from Sockriot; “Yiffo’s Foes,” and “The Little Nazi.” In the first episode of Yiffo’s Foes that’s called “Jewstick,”, in the first thirty seconds you’re audibly assaulted with the sound of a woman’s high-pitched moans, some troll-like grunting, and a man grunting “suck it, suck it” while in a yellow mask.

The first episode of the six part series “The Little Nazi” is described as a “brilliant and comedic web Episode 1 of this brilliant comedic web series written, produced, and directed by the inimical AzonkO ScudsO — who also stars — opens with the question “I was wondering if you have any books on Adolf Hitler, that aren’t based on lies and propaganda?” It’s all uphill from there as we watch our star come out of the closet, gulp . . . as a Nazi. HILARIOUS!”

I understand that this isn’t the most flattering look on him, but he was the one who wanted to get up close and personal with the camera, and I really didn’t want to have to show you guys a screengrab of him punching the air in his bedroom shirtless.

The first scene opens up on Sockriot in a library saying, “I was wondering if you have any books on Adolf Hitler that aren’t based on lies and propaganda.” The voice over (which I assume to be a library) asks “no, what are you, a Nazi?” to which “Bipto,” the character that Sockriot is playing says “Yes! I am!”

I’ll be transparent here, I made it through about five minutes of the episode and just couldn’t finish it, and I quite frankly don’t have the time nor the brain capacity to sit back and torture myself with this content. But I’m not alone in this, a comment under a Facebook post from the Idaho State Journal said the exact same thing.

His Creepy Activity

Being a Nazi is bad enough but being a Nazi who also likes to take pictures of random people, including children, so you can post them online and be racist towards them on a white supremacist website is even worse. This is what piqued my interest when I was looking through his account, but it’s not just underage kids who trigger him, he can’t stand seeing people of color in general, whether it’s an advertisement for a store, or on the side of a bus.

And I guess he’s not a big fan of license plates either.

In his most recent post, he complains about “utterly ordinary men” with bright-colored shoes on.

In another post (that he also posted on Twitter), he posts a picture of what seems to be a younger couple, talking about how “frumpy” they’re dressed. He also posted a picture of a man walking his dog on the sidewalk, some commenters joining in on insulting this individual for simply…wearing a mask and walking his dog.

He also made a post talking about how Chinese people are “masterful imitators,” and another one where he refers to a man as a “brown invader”, and says that he “wants them all to GET OUT!!”

I think we all know that neo-Nazis have a rich history of lying, knowing that Nazism itself is an ideology that’s based on lies. Something tells me that he was just making this up so he could find a way to get hits online.

Sockriot is also vegan I believe, but I can’t seem to find the post where he discusses it. One of his posts included six different pictures of people where he talks about they “look like literal demons” going into McDonalds, and states that he’s in full support of depopulation efforts. The fifth picture includes a child who doesn’t look like they’re over the age of six.

Here’s another picture of a child with their family that he posted so he could complain about Mexican people. It seems like he has an issue with people of color wearing American clothes?

There’s another picture that he took of a group of teenage girls at the mall, and he even got some pushback by someone in his comment section telling him to stop being a creep.

I just don’t understand why a full-grown man cares so much about teenage girls’ “lack of femininity.” I personally find it repulsive that he’s so passionate to the point where he has to take pictures of teenage girls.

Here’s another one where he talks about how women dress.

He posts another group of teenage girls. Two of them are staring at the camera uncomfortably, which is more than understandable. I’m sure Sockriot knows that taking pictures of children in public and posting them online to make inappropriate comments about them is bad, but I don’t think he cares enough, knowing that he’ll even post it when the kids are looking straight at his camera. He has absolutely no shame. One thing that I found disturbing is the bottom comment by a user named “Johnny Rebel,” who says, “and they think they’re going to get a date looking like this?”

In this post, he takes a picture of a little girl who’s most likely Indian, who can’t be over the age of seven saying “Why do they eat such stinky shit?”

In this post, he posts pictures of a few Black girls who both look like they’re around 9–10 years old, calling them “the white man’s burden,” and “utterly worthless human sludge.”

I think the worst part about this is the fact that he got 10 likes and three people reposted this. “Rudyard” is a reference to Rudyard Kipling’s poem called “The White Man’s Burden.”

He also posted a picture with a child who had an iPad at a restaurant recenlty, again, with their full face in it.

And if Mr. Sockriot is reading this, I want to ask him one question in total and complete honesty: what do you get out of taking pictures of random kids to make hateful comments about them online?

His Views

He wrote a book called White Umbrage: The Book That Was Never Supposed to Be Written in 2022 that he was selling on his Gab account at one point and time, but the link is no longer active.

Here’s an excerpt from the description.

White Umbrage chronicles boldly and expressively, the rising levels of anger among Whites as they are mercilessly attacked and erased in our profoundly anti-White culture. Extended from an online post, this potent piece of writing is starkly honest and uncensored, and hypnotically poetic, as one sentence melts into the next with free-associative fluidity and raw emotional power.

He writes quite a bit about how much he hates minorities on Gab, and he has six of his works listed in his about section.

There was one post that he made to a group called “Underground Revolution” on December 7, 2021, where he complained about “New-World-Order-style Communism” in reference to vaccines. He said that he mailed this handwritten letter to a local pizza place. He talks about how “College is the source of all of the evil in this world.”

In the comments, you’ll find one user advertising the Patriot Front, a diagram of a Molotov cocktail, and even one user saying that they’ll save and edit it so they can use it themselves.

Now before we get into his whole neo-Nazi litter campaign, here are some of his comments that he’s made, just so you can really understand his side of things.

His @WAFFLE_CHASER Twitter account has been suspended, but his new handle is @LERTWAMMY. I figured this out when he posted this post, which has “A Lertwammy Creation (Wafflechaser)” on the bottom right corner of the image. And for the record, he’s got quite the interesting profile picture going on.

“The Sharpie Revolution”

Instead of trying to better his community by picking up litter, he decides to litter even more by turning that litter into white supremacist propaganda. In his Twitter bio, he says that he “engage[s] in creative alchemy via litter messages, comic films & poetic musings against Jewmerica,” and posts some of his litter on there as well. He calls this “The Sharpie Revolution,” a Gab group that he created where he posts some of his litter on. As of today, May 1, 2025, the group has 128 members.

Here are some examples of his litter.

What can we do about it?

If you ever see this man around, especially if you have children or if you are one, please do everything in your power to get away from him as soon as possible. I’ll provide some more images of him, so you’ll know who to look out for.

I know that this will sound like a shameless promo on my part, but I urge you to share these images of him, along with this article to provide more context to let the community know about this issue. Just because it’s legal to take pictures of kids in public and post them on Nazi websites, doesn’t mean that you should. I report on neo-Nazis for a reason, to keep our communities safe.

If you have any tips about his whereabouts or any additional information about Astro Sockriot, you can find my contact information in the bio of this Medium page.

And if you ever come across any neo-Nazi propaganda scribbled on some litter (or actually any litter), throw it away. Litter is bad enough, but it’s even worse when white supremacist spread propaganda with it.

Get this Nazi filth off the streets and into the garbage, where it has always belonged.
