I don't want to complain too much since in all honesty this isn't even remotely a serious enough topic. As I've gotten more and more educated in ML and adjascent knowledge, I've tried explaining to people my views, why they make sense and how they apply to the urrent world we live in. I push back when people claim outrageous things and I get mocked in return and called a fool. Not being taken serious is harder than I thought and I knew this would happen kind of, but never expected for people, family, friends to actively not take any of this seriously. Should I just accept that ML views are so radical that people don't even want to hear them? Or should I push forward?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your comments, it's gotten clear to me that I was too aggressive and wasn't using the right approach when talking about certain things, I auto assumed the other person would receive what I'm talking about with open arms which was the wrong course of action. Will adjust my framing and discussion to meet the person halfway next time.

Brother, I see these comments all the time about people doing the Thanksgiving dinner embarrassment thing, and I have very little sympathy for it. If you were better educated about Marxism-Leninism, you would understand that you are proselytizing to the petit boug, and it is not in their self-interest to recognize what you're saying is true. In all honesty, it would likely be better for you to lie to people for fun, and focus on leaving the country. We tried fixing the spiritual problem behind the mindless short-term self-interest, and it just led to westerners falling at the feet of their leaders with an even more resounding thud.

Of course, I'm not trying to say that you're a bad person or something. All of the online lingo that you're presented with is telling you to act the way you are. You shouldn't listen to them.
