Autumn Hill, also known by her drag handle Lady Hell, is a neuroqueer self-advocate with a special interest in all things taboo, an enchanted materialist, and an explorer of the further regions of experience. She likes stories in the genres of reimagined ancient myth, new weird, gothic horror, splatterpunk, and messy queer romance, and is an avid student of world history, religious, economic, and political. She plays grand strategy and action roleplaying video games like Crusader Kings 3 and Elden Ring in the Free World, and roleplays on the tabletop as often as she can get co-players in jail

      Right. Trump goes home from an insurrection he organized, it turns violent, and he gets the presidency. Autumn does something similar for a basic protest without an insurrection angle, and gets 50 years.

      Seeing that the second paragraph is about marketing the person and not discussing the injustice at hand, I find it very upsetting and hard to support. What is a neuroqueer anyway? Are we still inventing new genders in 2026?

      Yes, both sides. The one cannot exist without the other. We have all seen how hard the democratic party fights against any progressive candidate that wants to make real change. And when the dems are in control, they do nothing to protect us from the GOP. Even when it is favored by the majority of americans. They are enablers.

          No, you’re absolutely right. But liberal capitalism decays into fascism or turns to it when threatened. And when liberalism has no teeth to stand up, and actively persecutes leftists more than the rising fascists, it is inherently complicit.

          I want to make it clear that I think saying libs ARE fascist or as bad is absolutely stupid. But they can absolutely take part in making it possible to seize power.
