Seconding the person who suggested the manga, it's a much easier entry point than full dense theory texts.
I'd also recommend Total Propaganda: Marxist Brainwashing for the Young and Angry by Helen Razor as an entry text. It's written in conversational language and only a couple years old so the examples are modern and easy to wrap your head around. It presents concepts in an entry point sort of way, and intends to be an introduction to a couple of basic Marxist concepts. This is the book I usually give to friends before getting them to read denser or older theory.
Edit: Sometimes podcasts are a great way to unfuck your brain about stuff too. Citations Needed is a great one that covers current events and the disingenuous ways that they're portrayed in the media. Looking at how the propaganda machine feeds into right-wing talking points really helps to understand where some of your former beliefs originally came from and how they're wrong.
Welcome! Glad you're here, comrade.
