They are dying. Their cultural force is losing its oomph so they are trying to claw back some power. I personally don't believe they've stolen anything. They are just trying to dirty the terms. It only works if you let them and take the weaker position of just giving them these terms.
Their strength is in manipulating language. That's why their acronyms keep changing: so that no one ever knows what to argue against.
If you ever get attacked for not knowing what "woke" means, or doing the LGBETC acronym wrong, or not knowing exactly how they say DEI, you know what I'm talking about. Similarily, "equity" vs equality, "racism" that is privilege + power instead of actual racism, these terms only serve to muddy the waters because they have absolutely no intention of having a good faith conversation with anyone.
It was always this way. They were always weak and hid behind words because their actions were hypocritical and pathetic. The difference we're seeing is that everyone else is waking up to their BS.
" they have absolutely no intention of having a good faith conversation with anyone."
Sums it up nicely
