Yockey is another nothing burger lmao. The devs have come out and said that his presidency wouldn’t lead to a coup attempt or civil war, despite that being, you know, gameplay. It’s just more overwrought misery porn events about how Yockey #StopTheSteal’ed his way into the Oval Office and some similar events about how everyone hates him and he can’t get any laws passed.
TNO continues to not understand why people play hoi4 in the first place. It’s a game people play because of the over the top unrealism and the power fantasy of it all, not because they want a misery porn visual novel that explores the ins and outs of fascism being the dominant anti-western force during the Cold War presented with a high schooler’s understanding of history.
In the leaked stuff WAAAAAY way back in this thread TNO had some interesting ideas for him includinga Peirce coup the guy who wrote the Turner Diaries as a BurgSynd path for America. Modern TNO is probably going to make it suck. already the West Russian submod Yockey teaser content is literally stop the steal Trump expy bullshit.
Its sort of a shame since I had an idea for Yockey and maybe one day I will make a submod but I am also lazy. Warning big text wall ahead but IDC, you're a grown up and can skip over it if you want.
Yockey I am glad they picked over Rockwell as Rockwell is a bit boring and modern Amerimutt Nazis coom over him since he was just a racist mutt conservative that used Nazism to be edgy whereas Yockey strangely enough had a lot of ideas that influenced modern day Neo Nazism in Europe like the Pan European ideology and identity.
Anyway the idea should be that already in TNO at least in the Panzer days they had Mosley in exile in Canada since they wanted Chesterton in England instead. Who knows if they axed him and who cares. Even in the Panzer days they said something akin that Yockey wants to turn the OFN into his personal fascist project a la his Imperium. That is an interesting idea I feel could be expanded. IRL Yockey and Mosley were close till they had a falling out, TNO with them much closer and neighbors on the global scale you could have them remain allies especially since Mosley's fascism was strange and more liberal and democratic as he wanted to work within the UK's parliamentary system.
You could have this work with having Yockey try to democratize fascism for his American audience. Sorta like how IRL and KX Earl Bowder tried to sell Apple Pie communism to the people to make it seem like it was a natural extension. How he could do this is in several ways. For his path and focus tree.
-Japan focus: Already in Margret Chase Smith's tree one way to get Yockey is to go all in the war hawk message. For Yockey Japan works out best for him as he can go at it in ways that make the right and left side with him. The right one is obvious as portraying the Japanese as a yellow peril sorta like the CCP fear today especially since (until its axed) The Japs humiliated America and port treaty ports on them. They are a no-white Asiatic menace and to get liberals on his side he can also try to tap into the bleeding hearts that many other gooks and chinks suffer under Japanese Imperialism and America has a history of going against Imperialism. Also just for me but most of his content should lead to a second pacific war, especially around the time of the great Asian war in the fabled never coming TNO2. You could even have a minigame of party loyalty in the country of getting both autistic hyper racists and liberals on the same side of slapping the Jap if you still want TNO minigame autism in there.
-Domestic and OFN focus: Assuming Canada is not fascist already to go with the panzer idea Yockey should go about using the CIA to try and make the OFN his puppets or in some cases actual allies. Mosley in Canada is an obvious one given their IRL work they did together. The purpose should not be to make it like the CPS or Unity Pakt despite the aforementioned puppet thing. Instead Yockey can try to use to show they are an alliance of co-equal fascist partners like the original tripartite pact was supposed to be.
-Russia and Socialists: This one got some TNO troons sneedy at me when I mentioned it but in game they don't have Yockey act like he did IRL. The fascist Russian guy can send Yockey a letter praising him for winning the election but Yockey gets buttmad an ugly Slav is talking to him. IRL Yockey wanted the Red Brown alliance and praised the Soviet Union's authoritarian nature in the cold war. Honestly speaking the TNO troons probably did not like it since it fucks with their idea of wholesome chungus communists but Yockey should especially ally with the likes of Nasser, Baathists, several Russian fascist unifiers, and a few Soviet ones like Yagoda. Might make things a tad interesting at least. Leads to the second point.
-Anti-Germany: Making him ally Germany is too easy but even TNO has this as Russian fascist supporters like Tabby, the Aryan Brotherhood, and the other dude despite IRL having worked for or simped for the Germans will inevitably go to war with them. Just have Yockey remain anti-German, especially if its under Speer or G4 which he sees as a bastaridzed version of the fascism he liked. If you wanna get autistic even have events where as Yockey gets more successful with the OFN and at home he gets disullusioned with Germany seeing how much of a fuck up mess it is.
Well there's my big long and autistic write up.
