A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Sounds like you had a pretty shitty relative. I'm still going to withhold blaming the woman while both sides have contradictory accounts so different someone is obviously lying. I don't doubt there is a chance this woman is like you say, but we don't have enough information to infer, so I prefer to wait before casting blame until we know the truth of the situation.
Which we likely will never get, but hey if it ever goes to court, maybe we'll get to find out someday.
The thing that leads me to think she might have been/is a toxic person, is that I could not find a single follow up to her story.
No family came out of the woodwork to explain her situation and defend it.. no social care workers saying they found her accommodation elsewhere.. just nothing.
Which.. is unusual for a story like this.
Not even an obituary for someone with her name that would be of the right age.
Hmmm. Red flags all over this one. Will likely never know for sure.
