For what it’s worth, I’m okay being a woke, lefty, liberal snowflake, even if for some this makes me a substandard believer or renegade. It’s just what I am. Get over it.
P.S. We might be talking about different things. Don’t assume terminology has the same meaning in different contexts.
To me, woke means to be aware of and alert to societal problems such as discrimination and inequality.
To me, being lefty means being concerned about the left-behind, and being moved by social justice. For me, being liberal means believing in social reform, equality, and liberty.
As for being a snowflake. Yes, perhaps we do melt away when we find ourselves under pressure, articulating an unpopular perspective.
Still, if you’ve ever been caught in a blizzard, you’d know not to underestimate the power of the unique, unassuming, and seemingly insignificant.
