Hiya, you might know me for my spellings using KKK and SS, and yes, I stand by what I say, but I want to talk about something.

Well, I have a sister (I will not reveal names for my and her privacy.) and she is actually a suKKKdem who supported Corbyn and who's not keen on SStarmer, but will vote to "keep the tories out." We live in TERF Island (that's all you'll know, and even the thought of it is actually bad, I wanna move to Cuba because of how bad it is here,) but she lives in another city from me, so we only see each other a few times a year. Thankfully, she supports Palestine, but unfortunately doesn't like China, Russia etc. (I critically support Russia, Iran, Syria even though they're bad on LGBTQ+ rights.)

Well, what's really bothering me is that she also happens to be an immigration officer for my country, and it bothers me since I don't like the laws for immigration and she said she doesn't like the laws too (don't get me started on the Rwanda law that the TorieSS are bringing in.) Despite that, I don't want to argue a lot (I am a hothead at times,) but it really like hurts inside because she's my sister, and I support Communism. I love her because she's my family, but it's conflicting. Am I sounding ridiculous?

Sorry about my words.

It's not worth splitting up with your sister over this stuff. There's more to life than politics. You need to both calm down, sit down and figure out each other's red lines, and then avoid stepping over them.

Oh, I still love her, in fact, we never argue. But it bothers me a little because she works for the Home Office.

There’s nothing you can do to change that. If you try to forcefully convince her to change, that’ll only build resentment and cause her to dig in further.

A person needs to come to realizations about their job themselves.

This is not worth burning your relationship with her over. But if she ever wants to change, be there to support her.

Thank you very glad for your words. Sorry, I thought I was being bad.

There is no such thing as a “perfect” communist. Not to mention you cannot choose your family.

Fidel’s family owned a massive plantation and owned servants. Mao’s family were incredibly wealthy capitalists, and so forth.

What matters most if your actions. Not the actions of others. Merely associating with a family member who works in the Home office is not some horrific sin. It’s not like she’s a devout Neo-Nazi or something akin to that.
