I can explain this! The “left” in America operate on a purely Sophist mindset. To them man is Authority, therefore those in power determine truth. This means tomorrow good thing can be bad and bad thing can be good as long as Authority says so. This is also why certain subsets of the left (LGBTQ, Minorities, academia) will revise history at a whim (Cleopatra was black, noble savages, Lincoln was gay, etc). This is in contrast with the Plato/ Aristotle/ Aurelius philosophy theory where Truth is Authority and man must understand Truth to become more complete.
Words are a way to Get What I Want, and that Feels Good. And usually What I Want is causing harm to White Christian culture and society and being a sexual degenerate (note: one thing more often than not)
For the actual power structure of the left it is. The useful idiots are always going to be hedonists, but even hedonists have to be conditioned to seek approval of the Authority. Every single generation of “counter culture” was carefully groomed and controlled, useful idiots who thought they were “rebelling” when they were just complying with leftist Authority and rebelling against objective Truth.
So true about revising history. I have Plato’s Republic in my book pile to read along with some Aristotle. One of my favorite quotes is from Aristotle. “ The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know”.

It's not even that complex.
