now hear me out i got actual advice for Taylan:
The problem with "talking politics" online is the autistic idea of winning over people with factual arguments. The truth of the matter is that this part is like 1% of what winning over people is.
Take me for example: When I would propagate that someone elses framework of understanding the world and economics is heccin fake and gay (bad kind) and liberal and bourgeois they would just respond antagonistic or disinterested. When I tell them I actually believe in human relations and culture not dictated by exploitation and profit and build them myself the story is different. F. ex. I like music, so I do a non-commercial radio show. I like video gaymes so I sometimes do speedrunning events at my local library to show people you can be creative with games instead of consoooooming them, even meeting others in the process and inspiring them to host their own speedrunning/ LAN/ couch coop events. I like technology so I do some stuff in non-corporate hacker spaces. This is more appealing than saying "Uhm yeah I'm a socialist but only because I read books and realistically I'm just a doomer who seethes at capitalism without doing anything concrete to organize my class or at least preserve the niches in society not dictated by profit." Hell I don't even get antagonized by rightoids on Fedi that much because my interactions with them is mostly shitposts or unpolitical, I don't constantly try to establish muh superior moral and scientific position or muh heccin godgiven right to fediblock them and on rare occasions I'll even acknowledge when they are accidently right on something.
What you need is a target for your political brainrot, where you have a space and concrete timeframe for containment, and outside of that just vibe with people over other things you like and keep political discussion on Fedi to occasional shitposts.
If I'm right with my assumption where you live the german communist party should be active there. These people are on average like 80 years old, so they won't go batshit over you not supporting the trans thing 100%. Go to the 70 year old guy who looks like he has a "Stasi informant allegations" wikipedia section and tell him "hey, I'm a leftist but have yet to dive deep into marxism-leninism, can you recommend some resources to get a hang of the basics on 100 paper pages instead of 9000 and do you need some help for upcoming organizing stuff?" Do some stuff at the party, when you leave their building don't let your brain rot in politics because you have an established time and space to do that.
