I don't quite buy the validity of this narrative as far as things stand today. I see what you mean but currently there is a powerful media presence in the west that favors what could best be called anti-conservative causes. There are also numerous powerful, wealthy people, corporations and institutions with progressive tendencies in their leadership or mentality who donate large amounts to grassroots and other organizations that share these tendencies. They too are all working to retain or accumulate power. This is all perfectly fine, and good even but let's not keep painting them as some kinds of underdogs against the big bad conservative shady finance plutocrats. The numbers don't even bear that out. In both ases, there is scheming in that someone with an agenda wants to promote that agenda by using their wealth to prop up those will help them support their posture. It's disingenuous to consider it relatively altruistic for the left but immediately a sign of trying to retain power when it happens with the other ideological tendency.
