A large part of the reason for the success of these movements, starting with the feminist movement is redefining and overloading things.
They redefined scrutiny as attacking.
They redefined gender (a word used people it wasn’t proper to say sex) to “what sex you feel you are”.
They are trying to redefine racism so only white people can have it.
They are redefining majority as “not by numbers”.
They are redefining past suffering as “only that which happened to blacks or glbt”.
I know people who come from places with 25% casualty rates during WWII (actual recent immigrants) and are told they need to check their privilege and they don’t know what suffering is.
They have redefined slavery as the only crime that matters and slavery if blacks as the only one that counts.
Not buying in is now a phobia.
When people redefine words like this it is the clearest sign of a campaign of gatekeeping and attempt to expunge history and culture.
To be fair, the other side did it too. When Texas school textbooks redefine slaves as “migrant workers” you can’t tell me that’s not an attempt to expunge history.
