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.

      not surprised to see a leftoid who enjoys rape as entertainment comparing Sankara’s achievements with the struggle to convince westerners they’re in league with the global working class (they aren’t, and I would bet a million gold reichsmarks OP is crying about being scorned by whites)

      PS - the era in which porn was distributed via mail saw open expansion of child rape rackets. that’s some curious nostalgia you’ve got there, “gent”

      PPS - mods, just because you can make an inference that something should rustle your jimmies, that doesn’t make it rude. this is quite polite. the way you remove shit would make bluesky blush. ;)
