Im tired of anything about my identity as a person being somehow associated with racism. I literally just love free market capitalism, order, truth, freedom, the nuclear family, values, tradition, and fucking common sense. Nothing about me involves racism whatsoever and I swear I have to constantly explain my way out of being labeled racist on an ongoing basis, especially this year. I’ve been made to feel like im inherently some sort of evil person for aligning with what’s been normal for most of modern civilization and its really fucking pissing me off.

Stop caring what they say about you. That's literally the answer.

I can't not care about people defaming me
Then step one is to stop pretending that communists are "people."
I disagree, I'll always view everyone as people and empathize with them even if it's to my detriment
Then I'm afraid there's no assuaging the anger you are currently feeling. Sorry, fren.
Well, are they defaming you to your face only, or actively defaming you to others? There is a fundamental difference here.
If they are saying it only to your face--well, you know it's a lie. my grandmother told me listening to idiots or liars is a waste of time. Listening to idiots is a good way to become one, and listening to liars is simply a waste of time. Sure, try to correct their view, but if that doesn't work disengage and don't waste time on them.
If they are defaming you to others, that's a whole different ballgame.
Offense is in the eye of the beholder. If someone tells me a truth about myself, no matter how harshly it is worded, I can be angry because it is true and I haven't fixed it. But I don't get angry at them for the truth bomb.
If someone tells me a lie about myself to my face, it means nothing to me. I don't even get pissed, because I know it's a lie. I simply cease associating with them. After pointing out that if they dislike me so much, or believe that shit about me, then obviously we shouldn't be associating with each other because they are delusional. Sometimes I am polite, sometimes not. But I am not offended or pissed per se, because their false beliefs are not my problem, they are their problem. I am under no obligation to try and change their mind, though I usually give them 3 chances to pull their head out of their ass.
However, bearing false witness against me to others does indeed piss me off. And that is a very bad idea.
