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.
Try to not get into protracted discussions. Its not a game where you can win by making a masterful argument. Raising class consciousness is a slow process of highlighting the problems of inequality that are caused by private property and exploitation. Focus on blaming the exploitation class for everything. Eventually the weight of evidence against the capitalist system will cause cracks to form and people will ask “well what do you think we do about it?”
