And more importantly where do I even start?! There's a bunch of books by Kropotkin, but also Bakunin, and I'm not sure if I should read Marx while at it, it's just too much. I'm irritated beyond words and confused

Anarchism is opportunistic peak-liberalism. Study the Dao, instead.

Sorry OP, but if you REALLY want to learn about ANARCHISM you need to do some PRAXIS first. If it isn't PRAXIS then it isn't real ANARCHISM. So why don't you go and JOIN a Food Not Bombs and meat some REAL ANARCHISTS instead of trying to absorb OUTDATED theory in your MOTHER'S basement.

Anything by Bakunin, Chomsky, or Goldman.

The Conquest of Bread is a pretty good overview of anarchism and a relatively easy read. Reading Marx is probably more worth your time.

Where should I start with politics as a whole? People use weird terms to identify themselves and I don't even know what they mean

For European anarchism see Nettlau's A Short History Of Anarchism:

For American anarchism see "Men Against the State: The Expositers of Individualist Anarchism in America, 1827-1908":

For left wing politics it's vital to understand Marx, and for Marx it's vital to understand both Proudhon and the German Idealists. For right wing philosophy, people who opposed the French revolution are a good basis. I'd say you should start with the Greeks, but for the left What is Property? by Proudhon would be a good place to start, and for thee right de Maistre's Considerations on France
would be a good place to start.

Most "leftists" didn't know or care about Marx in the 19th century, he became more and more famous after death. Ferdinand Lassalle was probably even more influential on German social democracy than Marx, the biggest Marxist institution at that time and of course you could make the case populists/nihilists had a bigger effect on Russian Marxism than Marx.
