The whole point of having a romantic relationship is to slowly and tactfully let them realise on their own how surrounded by western propaganda they are.
Why? What did you guys think the point of intimacy was? Love or children or something?

I guess I just talk to too many people, or I'm just very convincing.
My poor girlfriend, I have no idea how she puts up with my endless micro-rants about how x thing we observed while out and about is evidence of the contradictions of capitalism and the ills attendant therein
I wish I had a wife so me and her boyfriend could hang out and talk about politics.
When my partner and I met she was a libertarian and I was a Obama loving lib. When we first started dating, we had both become "progressives" and canvassed for Bernie. Now we are both anarchists who would happily fight alongside MLs if the opportunity for revolution were ever upon us.
My message is this: together, you and your partner can extremify each other far beyond where you were likely to reach alone in the most virtuous of cycles.
She was a Tea Party patriot
He was a Marxist-Husseinist

I try to frame my leftist view points in the most favorable neutral sounding way possible. Then if I sense the person isn't coming from the same place as me, I back off.
