Question about how to sell my zine

Hey r/zine im just a guy who adhd hyperfixated on a entire 186 page zine and im having trouble trying to sell it. I see a lot of people design really cute magazines that sell really well at festivals and online, i'm worried theres no market for intellectuals who like the idea of trying to navigate the existence of a soul using platonic forms, neuroscience, art history and hegalian dialecticals, while basically using high renaissance art to talk about the grandiosity of these ideas while also build giant monuments in minecraft as a way of implanting ideas in the subconscious and learning about the vagus nerve. Making religious rituals in expanding my own brain, while also making it a diary at the same time. i figured out that the reason why capitalism sucks is because everyone is walking around with trauma in their bodies that they haven't biologically released.

Yeah, so as you may have just read was probably a soup of strange ideas. And, im worried its not saleable because, well i dont know if theres a market for this. I tried charing $50, 80$ nothing. I left the price at $310 and nothing either. I even made tiny ones and charged $10 and no one bought them. I live in redneck georgia so its hard to find a bookfair close to me. And I realize. If anyone can offer me advice, that'd be great. Or, if this project is doomed to fail because of this sheer scale of it thats fine too.

i have a website www.lenfer.art if you're interest. I have a free pdf that is basically a manifesto named after the same publication Jean-Paul Marat created during the french revolution. Any pointers will do thank you. If i need to lower the price thats fine too.

EDIT: Thank you for the suggestions everyone! Im very happy y'all contributed and very grateful for it! I went ahead and decided to have issue 1 for sale if anyone is interested! https://www.etsy.com/listing/4447290067/lenfer-issue-01?ref=shop_home_active_4&logging_key=245cd7e4a6171d6a5eaed1f8fff778425cb327fa%3A4447290067

I also have some copies of 2,3,4 i was printing to try and test stuff out, but they're for sale too!
