It can be thought of as something of a successor to William Luther Pierce’s Literature/TheTurnerDiaries, an earlier and more famous work of white supremacist literature. Like that novel, Northwest Front is meant to promote the author’s white supremacist ideology and to provide a road map for fellow travelers to put their racist beliefs into practice. Specifically, the Northwest Front novels promote the Northwest Territorial Imperative, a white supremacist scheme to build a neo-Nazi white ethnostate in the Pacific Northwest. Covington presents this as a [[PragmaticVillainy more feasible plan]] compared to Pierce’s apocalyptic fantasies of global genocide.


Added DiffLines:

* FinalSolution: Under the NAR’s General Order Number Four, all Jews, non-whites, gays, and “race-mixers” are to leave its claimed territory or die. In theory, the NVA is to kill them all on sight, and they would very much like to. In practice, it is acknowledged that their insurgency doesn’t have the strength for that, so they carry out targeted attacks with the intent of forcing these groups to leave.

* CopKiller: The NVA targets law enforcement as part of their terrorist campaign. They’re especially hostile to the feds, but even local cops are killed, especially if they’re not white.



* DueToTheDead: Completely averted with the Oscars Night Massacre and its aftermath. The next day, the NVA publishes a parody of the official casualty list with personal details of each victim curated to portray them in as bad a light as possible.


Added DiffLines:

* LastDisrespects: The day after the Oscars Night Massacre, the NVA publishes a parody of the official casualty list, with a biography of each victim curated to portray them in as bad a light as possible. Curiously, the security personnel killed in the massacre are spared this post-mortem humiliation.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: America has implemented hate speech laws which proscribe draconian penalties, up to and including execution, for use or slurs and possession of racist literature. How this squares with the First Amendment, which should flatly rule out any such law, is a mystery.

Added DiffLines:

* WesternTerrorists: The NVA is a white supremacist terrorist insurgency trying to carve out a white ethnostate in the Pacific Northwest. They explicitly take inspiration for their tactics from several real-life terrorist and insurgent groups.

* PragmaticVillainy: The NVA initially takes pains to avoid the deliberate killing of young non-white children. This is not because they place any value on their lives - [[WouldHurtAChild they have no moral objection whatever to murdering children for their race]] - but because doing so is bad for their public image. They prefer targeted attacks over indiscriminate slaughter for basically the same reason.



* TakeThat: Several characters in regards to Willian Luther Pierce (national alliance head; author of ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries)''. Also in regards to people who think the U.S. can be turned back into a 'white nation', loyalists who refuse to move to the Northwest.

Also in regards to people who think the U.S. can be turned back into a 'white nation', loyalists who refuse to move to the Northwest. This is based on the idea that conquering and ethnically cleansing the entire country or planet is impossible, and [[PragmaticVillainy it’s best to stick to workable goals and leave “undesirables” with somewhere to run rather than making them fight to the death]].

Hiding some zero context examples. Removing natter as nothing of that is relevant to how the terrorist/freedom fighters are seen as in the novel.


* TheEmpire: The United States is portrayed as such by the NVA.
* HarmlessVillain: The federal government is incompetent in its suppression of the rebellion and is heavy-handed which gives the rebels more support.
** Subverted, in ''Freedom's Sons'' where the federal government is willing to [[spoiler:attempt to nuke the NAR to put down the republic]].
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Kicky (Christina [=McGee=]), who becomes a snitch in order to protect her daughter.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: The White nationalists shoot ALL "non-whites" - including Jews - within their territory on sight. How they would negotiate with the rump federal state seems to bring up odd questions. They also kill any non-white [=POW=]s on sight. Also they kill gays. The Palestinian Diplomatic Delegation are the only non-whites allowed in the Northwest American Republic, as the Palestinians were victims of Israel and their struggle brought them respect by the NAR.
** Some examples: They kill any native americans in territory to be there. They line up Mexican migrant workers and shoot them all in the head (ranging from 15 year old girls to 60 year old men in ''Freedon's Sons'')

* UnPerson: The loyalists, racemixers, etc. who stayed behind and were killed had this happen to them.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: The federal government considers the NVA to be terrorist racists (which they '''are''', as admitted in the novel) while the NVA and their supporters consider the Federal government to be an imperialist multi-racial empire (which it ''is'' in the novel). To be fair, the United States, both de jure (and increasingly, though not by any means completely) de facto embraces all ethnicities equally, is an empire by the common definition that it encompasses multiple cultural groups under the same rule (It would be hard to argue that there are NOT cultural differences between, a Texan, a New Englander, and a Cascadian), and is imperialistic in that much of it's foreign policy revolves around establishing hegemony in other countries, occasionally through force of arms. They've got those particular facts right. It's ''why'' they think this is necessarily bad that makes the whole thing weird.
