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.
Sadly, if you are in an environment where you are surrounded among petite bourgeoisie, labor aristocracy or their siblings, stuff like this will happen. Class and material conditions play a very important role in the defending the views that sustain our reality.
Depending on what you do, the topic and the class of the people; you can blend ML views in a very digestible manner. This is what is happening to plenty of Latam comrades(like myself) regarding US imperialism.
I am yes, I've noticed that people from lower classes were much more likely to listen to what I have to say than people who went to universities or hold multiple degrees/phds.
