Talking with you wouldn't make anybody smart.
Seriously though, 4chan is definitely your best bet. If this annoys you when I say it because you don't want to associate with 4chan, maybe you should realize that's how you're coming off already.
If you don't like talking with average people, people who most likely do not share your viewpoints, you can always stop trying if you want. I'm sure it would be appreciated.
It may just be that there are a lot more "leftist people" than you think there are. The world is not the U.S., and what is "left" in the U.S. is centre or even rightwing in a lot of other countries. To me, a complaint like this sounds more like "I want a far-right forum online", in which case 4chan is probably your best bet.

Because I find it unsettling on a personal level when my wife and I, in the privacy of our home away from the world have a conversation where we make a joke about buying a banjo, and then every day for the next three weeks everywhere I go is flooded with targeted banjo ads. Verbal conversations, away from everything but our phones and computers.
Because I find it unsettling when I go to a site I have never gone to before and it greets me with my name and already knows where I live with the shipping details even though I clicked "I do not consent" on every data pop-up that I've seen in the past five years.
Because people are selling that data, my data, data about myself, and I get none of that profit and it was done without my consent or knowledge.
Because a company having my information should be something I need to personally allow, not something I need to ask and beg them not to obtain.
Because I can think of very few, if any, benevolent purposes of using that data, but there is a legion of malevolent reasons for it, and of the ones I have seen, all of them fall into this category.
All this being said, I should not need to have a reason. The onus should not rest with the individual to prove that they deserve undisturbed privacy, it should rest with the institutions that want this information; that it is a requirement to obtain this information for valid reasons and not frivolous ones, or ones rooted in greed or ideology. Like a search warrant for example.
