Why is it so easy to signal things like wokeness, left-leaning, or right-leaning, but so hard to signal the pursuit of meaning, building something that will last, or that you're a hopeless romantic?

I’d imagine it’s a theater vs drama thing (in a James Carse sense). The former has a script and is largely meant to be performed, with winners and losers, right and wrong. The latter is a present-moment, first-person experience that unfolds indefinitely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_and_Infinite_Games

the compliment is much appreciated, thank you. i'm but a meager jiraffe on the internet acting as a memetic facade to an insecure, intellectually curious human irl trying to find their way and make meaning in this wild world. and, if i get lucky, make the world a better and more self-aware place while doing it.
