Osoyoos (political faction): Difference between revisions

}}'''Osoyoos''', also known as the '''Osoyoos movement''', the '''Hivemind''', the '''Osoyoos Grand Fleet''' or sometimes the '''Radical conservatives''' were a reactionary political faction and movement in [[Cascadia]] that existed between August 9 and October 22, 2023, dying out when most of the faction seceded following the results of the October 2025 presidential election. Their ideology followed ultra-nationalism, imperialism, jingoism, and hivemind collectivism, and have often been compared to fascism. The faction started from the friend group that settled under the town of the same name, however grew quickly, eventually encompassing around a third of Cascadia's active population, quickly obtaining political prominence in Cascadian politics, acting as a third position challenging the traditional two factions of the Cascadian Populist Era, namely the Social Democrats and the Populists. In the August 2023 presidential election, Osoyoos-aligned [[PhantomXYZ]] won the most first-preference votes, although lost to the incumbent center-left president EmpressCorgo. The Osoyoos political machine reached their height in October of 2023, where in that month's elections their presidential candidate, [[Flatvent_One]], tied with incumbent [[EmpressCorgo]], with exactly 40 votes each according to final preference votes. Due to the tied election, the result was to be decided by a contingent election in the House of Representatives, however before the contingent election was to be held, a majority of Osoyoos's figures left the nation, and deleted their towns, and admitted their plan to plunder the national treasury if elected to power. Osoyoos left a legacy of causing Cascadia to go into a short but chaotic era in which the nation was extremely politically unstable and toxic, particularly concerning their feuds with the Frontier, another political faction within Cascadia at the time. After their secession, they would go on to form the nation of [[Chad]], who would eventually start the [[Wagner War]] just two months later, and some members such as Karn4 would even go on to fight in the [[Great American War]] under North_Paso's Texas.
