My sister is becoming more radicalised than me and it’s scary. (hexbear.net)

Every time we chat, and the discussion turns towards capitalism, she’s the one who without any hesitation just says we should kill them all. Now, though, it’s gone further to torture. And she names names. In addition to people like Bezos and Musk, she includes Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and others.

I say we should force them to work and maybe learn the error of their ways (After the revolution of course. During it many of these fucks will die and I’ll be glad).

Her current jobs is extremely horrible. She’s being massively overworked, verbally abused and, of course, underpaid. So I get her frustration. But it’s also scary. I don’t want her to get in any trouble.

I don’t know if I should be gently turning her away from imagining a slow and painful torture of capitalists or not. Am I being a lib or is she too extreme?

She seems to be caught up in moralistic reasoning. Punishing people can't undo the harm they've done, it can't un-hurt her. Nicholas II was killed for representing a massive liability to the revolution, not because it would bring back the Jews he killed or be of any intrinsic benefit.

There is no use in what she describes, just emotional maladjustment.
