Background on the Y-NPP ● the Y-NPP in TNO Is a Bit of a Frankensteinian Political Party Dreads big ol Y-NPP document ● Background on the Y-NPP ● The Y-NPP in TNO is a bit of a frankensteinian political party. Whilst broadly united by racial beliefs I envision the Y-NPP still being fairly divided amongst themselves as the extreme right has been OTL. This won’t matter much until post 1972 as Yockey himself has succeeded in uniting the disparate factions behind his own leadership, much to the chagrin of some, but should Yockey fail to take the presidency these tensions will begin to boil over and Yockey might well find himself losing his control over the party and one of the other competing factions seizing his position and attempting to secure the presidency for themselves. Broadly speaking the main factions in the Y-NPP can thus be understood to be the following: ● The Traditionalists: the mainstream of the Y-NPP up until 1972. Broadly speaking this faction follows Yockeys ideas of a strictly authoritarian and anti-liberal government that uses its power to defend western, ie in their eyes white, civilization. As detailed below that will essentially be the crux of their content and Yockey’s goals will be the establishment of an ever more authoritarian government in the US. ● The Esotericists: both a very radical wing of the Y-NPP and decidedly less radical in some ways than the others. Led by Matt Koehl, they take a deeply spiritual view on race and while not as heavily authoritarian as the Traditionalists or as outwardly chaotic as the Vanguardists they will still serve as a hopefully unique fail state for the US. The primary goal of the Esotericists will be to normalize and spread white supremacism and fringe racial religions and philosophies. ● The Vanguardists: the most outwardly radical wing of the Y-NPP. Led by William Luther Pierce, they broadly believe that both the FR-NPP and Yockey/Koehl have failed at preserving the white way of life in the US and that only directly attempting to tear the system down can preserve the things they value. This will be the biggest fail state for the US and one of the most cursed things in TNO. ● Francis Parker Yockey ideas: ○ Can be first elected in 1972 ○ Should have some sort of mechanic where pushing too hard too fast on going full fash will lead to you getting ousted. Yockey should have to play a long game where things are done incrementally to slowly build up his power and turn the US’s systems and checks against themselves and overstepping should lead to very bad things, ie his presidency ending fast. Essentially the exact reverse of Italy in 1962, whereas Ciano is someone in a fascist system working to tear it down Yockey is someone in a democratic system trying to tear it down just like the fascists of old did, but this system has been around much longer and is much harder to remove. The goal is to either have Yockey fail and the US potentially able to claw back into some sense of normalcy or Yockey winning and the US entering a hard fail state. ○ Will seek to win three terms (1972, 1976, 1980) if he is played perfectly and avoids being ousted, each term should be more authoritarian than the last and the longer he is in office the worse the situation for the US should become. Each term should thus have its own tree ○ Yockey will attempt to subvert the OFN for his own purposes and will be eager to support far right nations in Europe. ○ His first two terms Yockey will be represented as Fascist in game but if he does attain the third term he will flip to NatSoc and begin being addressed as “President, Commander-In-Chief and General of the Armies of the United States of America, Francis Parker Yockey” ○ The fail state represented by Yockey is the constant fear and terror of totalitarianism. Domestic policy ○ Is totally hostile to the very idea of the American democratic republic but will stifle this publicly and make slower moves to break it down from behind the scenes ○ Won't go full totalitarian mode for quite some time. His initial tree should be things like: general expansion of government powers and presidential powers especially, look to the imperial presidency for general ideas ○ Establishing rating agencies for various forms of media, this will be sold to the public as a simple measure like it was otl but the longer the Y-NPP rules the more draconian the rules become, slowly but surely crushing any non-Yockey viewpoint ○ Overhauling and "improving" voting laws, will be sold to the public as a way to prevent fraud and such things but will over time lead to more and more gerrymandering and eventually outright manipulation in favor of the Y-NPP ○ Segregation, will be the first big thing the Y-NPP pushes for, not just against African-Americans but all non-whites, they will always push to make it a nationwide thing, will lead to lots of pushback and will be Yockeys first big challenge where his presidency either dies or he survives and solidifies himself more ○ Court modernization plan, sold to the public as a revamp and update to the judiciary for the modern era. In actuality it just slightly increases the number of judges nationwide to be packed with Yockey loyalists. Will impact SCOTUS but only by 1 seat, Yockey’s plan is long term to avoid extreme backlash right away and more and more judiciary update plans will be put in over time until the entire branch is either neutered or filled with yes men who will support whatever Yockey does ○ Suppression of the opposition, again it starts very minor at first and focuses only on the most prominent and vocal L-NPP types but the longer Yockey is in power the stronger HUAC and suppression of anyone who isn’t Y-NPP becomes ○ Hostility to big business. In his first term this shouldn’t result in too much except higher income taxation and increased funding to government work programs and whatnot ○ The second term should start much the same as the first with a general increase in government powers ○ Will move to outlaw all non-European immigration into the United States ○ Income taxation will be further upped and the Federal Reserve will be nationalized and brought under state control ○ Attacks on the media become more pronounced and while you won’t be able to take it too far without risking disaster in this term you can begin to curtail press freedoms quite a bit. Probably will end up with the US dropping to Censored Press if you don’t fail. ○ Another court modernization plan will be put in place. New court districts will be drawn, specifically all the non-Yockey aligned states will be combined into one or two big districts and a bunch of Yockey states will become their own judicial districts. Essentially it would be judicial gerrymandering ○ Voting laws will be further “refined” to make it harder for minorities and non Yockey areas to vote effectively ○ Yockey will purge the military. Not in a kill everyone he doesn’t like way, but in a get rid of the establishment and potentially disloyal types by firing them or making them resign and replacing them with hardliners. Will increase Yockey’s power but drop the army level to Political Interference. ○ The Protecting Americas Traditional Racial Institutions and Obstructing Terrorism Act (PATRIOT Act, for short) will be rushed through congress and signed the same night by Yockey, defunding the CIA and FBI and establishing a new agency (Department of Homeland Security) to be filled with Yockey loyalists who will then begin a mass spying operation in the US to identify and eliminate or arrest an ever growing list of people ○ A number of mid level officers in the military will attempt a coup at this point but the newly founded DHS will pick up on it very quickly and watch them until the last moment when DHS allows them to execute the plot, only to walk into a trap. ○ Whereas segregation is the first big hurdle of term 1 the biggest hurdle for term 2 should be something like outlawing miscegenation across the entire US. Should fail if you haven’t succeeded in the court modernization plans. Will lead to strong pushback, again could kill Yockey’s presidency but if you survive your position becomes even stronger. ○ Yockey will pass an executive order undoing the one from the 40’s and officially re-segregate the armed forces. ○ If you’ve survived until this point then term 2 will end on something like the Communist Control Act being passed and the L-NPP and other such groups will be officially outlawed. Will survive in court if you’ve passed the modernization plans. If not the Act will fail and the backlash will make non Y-NPP parties become more popular and potentially be able to throw you out on a unity ticket or something. ○ No more hiding behind things once you reach this point, the last 2 years of the game are where things start to get really bad if you’ve survived this long. The tree will open with one last round of congress and the presidency becoming even more powerful. ○ A final court scheme will quickly be passed through that ensures SCOTUS is firmly filled with yes men, protests against this will be cracked down upon using both the PATRIOT Act and Communist Control Act and Yockey will simply begin mass imprisoning people who are strongly and vocally against his government, allegedly because they’re plotting insurrection and to overthrow the government.

V Praze dne 29.7.2019 ........................................ Poděkování Tereza Matějčková, Ph.D. mě podpořila povzbuzujícími konzultacemi, podnětnými připomínkami a trpělivostí během doby, kdy práce vznikala. Jagodě Mackowiak vděčím za přátelskou podporu a Mgr. Veronice Krajíčkové za neocenitelnou radu v začátcích. Nepřímo se o mou práci zasloužil i Adam Anczyk, PhD, který ve mně vzbudil zájem o téma novopohanství a jeho transformace v dnešní společnosti. Všem bych tímto ráda upřímně poděkovala. ABSTRAKT Tato práce si klade za cíl zmapovat vývoj politického myšlení Severského novopohanství a určit faktory, které vedou k politizaci konkrétních typů novopohanských skupin a k jejich příklonu k pravicovému radikalismu. První kapitola po úvodu sestává ze čtyř případových studií, z nichž každá představuje jiný typ skupiny z pohledu místa a okolností vzniku, kontextu, v němž se se vyvíjela jejich náboženská a politická přesvědčení, a ze způsobu legitimizace jejich případného politického aktivismu. Následující dvě kapitoly se soustředí na analýzu historických souvislostí, které zapříčinily rozdílné ideologické směřování skupin v rámci dvou hlavních typů Severského pohanství, Ásatrú a Odinismu, a to ve dvou odlišných kulturních prostředích Evropy a Spojených Států. Závěrečná kapitola přináší syntézu zkoumaných skupin ve vzájemných souvislostech spolu s jejich historickým pozadím; tato syntéza pak nabízí možnou interpretaci procesu jejich radikalizace.

Germanic Neopaganism, Nordic Nationalism, and Modern Reception of Old Norse Religion and the Vikings Trevor Kieser http://www.duo.uio.no/ Printer: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo iv Summary The purpose of this paper is to examine the modern reception of Old Norse religion and the image of the Vikings in a Nationalist context. I briefly describe the Old Norse pagan religion, as well as several extant sources on Old Norse pagan beliefs, before moving on to investigating the Germanic Neopagan movement which started in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. In order to explain this, however, there needs to be a necessary understanding of the creation and development of the Germanic völkisch movement, which directly led to Germanic Neopaganism. Out of völkisch thinking came the modern-day forms of Germanic Neopaganism, manifesting chiefly in Asatru. Its relation to nationalist thinking and its focus on the Nordic gods have drawn comparisons between Asatruers and Nazis, but this line of thinking is unfair and diminishes the faith of all Asatruers.

What is important to mention before reading this study, as I was reminded by a Pagan I met at a recent conference, is that not all people who follow this path of expression are racially motivated or oriented. This is a particularly sensitive point for many Pagans who are already a religious minority. The concern she had was that Pagans may face further discrimination if people see them as racists. The differentiation between racialist and non--racialist Odinists will be expressed in the body of the paper.

  • A “Lunatic Fringe”? the Persistence of Right Wing Extremism in Australia by Kristy Campion
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 13, Issue 2 A “Lunatic Fringe”? The Persistence of Right Wing Extremism in Australia by Kristy Campion Abstract Right Wing Extremism (RWE) in Australia is historically persistent and contemporarily well-established. The persistence is not simply the consequence of an Australian-centric white nationalism, but is the result of international and domestic exchanges. This article investigates the persistence and appeal of Australian RWE groups. The first movements emerged in the 1930s against Bolshevik Communism, and quickly established ties with fellow travellers elsewhere in the Western world. While their influence diminished, their sentiment persisted in subcultural networks which also demonstrated international ties. RWE resurged in the 1980s, seeking to stymie pluralism and immigration. Some extremists travelled overseas, and formed connections with international counterparts. Their activities were suppressed by law enforcement, but the sentiment continues to survive in subcultural networks. RWE resurfaced in the decade prior to the 2019 Christchurch attack, largely targeting ethnic Australians and members of the Muslim community. Currently, the RWE threat in Australia is inherently tied to extremist attitudes regarding jihadism, Muslims, and immigration. Keywords: Australia, right wing extremism, terrorism, fascism, nationalism, Christchurch Introduction Right Wing Extremism (RWE) in Australia has demonstrated persistence over the past ninety years, despite its relatively peripheral position on the greater political spectrum. The Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) once placed the extreme right on the “lunatic fringe,” which maintained its relevance by public and provocative acts.[1] Notwithstanding this conceptual positioning, the extreme right in Australia has also demonstrated an ability to engage in meaningful international exchange with counterparts elsewhere in the Western world.

  • Neo-Folkish Movement Während Der 1980Er Jahre Sahen Die Vereinigten Staaten Auch Eine Erhöhung Der Anzahl Der Neo-Völkisch Bewegungen
    Neo-Folkish Movement Während der 1980er Jahre sahen die Vereinigten Staaten auch eine Erhöhung der Anzahl der neo-völkisch Bewegungen. Laut Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, diese Bewegungen decken eine Vielzahl von sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden Gruppen einer radikal ethnozentrischen Charakter, die entstanden sind, vor allem in der englischsprachigen Welt, dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Diese losen Netzwerke wieder zu beleben oder imitieren die völkische Bewegung des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Deutschland in ihrer defensiven Bejahung des weißen Identität gegen die Moderne, Liberalismus, Einwanderung, multiracialism und Multikulturalismus. Einige sind neofaschistische, neonazistischen oder Dritten Positionist; andere sind in der Umgebung von irgendeiner Form von weißen ethnischen Nationalismus oder Identitätspolitik politisiert, und ein paar haben Rechtsextremismus anarchistischen Tendenzen. Ein Beispiel ist die neo-tribalist Heidentum von Else Christensen Odinist Fellowship gefördert Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Prävalenz des hingebungsvollen Formen und esoterischen Themen, so neo-völkische Strömungen haben oft den Charakter der neuen religiösen Bewegungen. Unter den Neo-völkisch Schirm enthalten sind Bewegungen, die von konservativen revolutionäre Denkschulen auf weißer Rassist-Weiß separatistischen Interpretationen von Christentum und Heidentum zum Neonazi-Subkulturen. http://lebendom.com/article/white-power During the 1980s, the United States also saw an increase in the number of neo-volkisch movements. According to Nicholas Goodrick- Clarke, these movements cover a variety of interacting groups of a radically ethnocentric character that have emerged, especially in the English-speaking world, World War II. These loose networks revive or mimic the Volkish movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries in Germany in their defensive affirmation of white identity versus modernity, liberalism, immigration, multiracialism, and multiculturalism.
