Woke
Terms on the left usually mean the opposite of what they sound like. Like "Woke" means asleep (or asheep). It implies being awake to the injustices (classism, racism, and any other social injustices) around you that you don't like, and being a deep thinker. But assuming life (and understanding/thinking) is about balances and understanding both sides, it means the opposite: being blind to the consequences of your actions and putting leftist activism above everything else. It is the personification of Dunning-Kruger effect, Slacktivism, intersectional divisiveness, and putting feelings and actions above thinking and consequences of actions -- then being sanctimonious about it all (thinking you're better than everyone else), because they're not as young, dumb and motivated as you are.
