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?

    Fair nough, but if we win I'm still gonna claim we stormed the gates of heaven and put god to the sword.

      The Christian imagry is a little out of place as Capital is a god in the way of the old pagan gods of Rome rather than in the Abrahamic way

        Guilty. I grew up in a Christian context and the bible is far and away the religious text with which I am most familiar with. And the whole "Kill god and overthrow his Kingdom" thing is hard to apply to like, a hindu or buddhist or taoist paradigm. It works better for the Christian god because Christianity is so patriarchical and hierarchical, and because they have a singular god that they assert is responsible for and aware of everything that happens, including the evil stuff. I guess a Manichean or Zoroastrain adjacent thing could apply, since as far as i can remember they assert that there is a great evil god locked in combat with a great good god, with the outcome uncertain.
