You are mixing up language change and Red Guards roaming around ready to crucify anyone who does not subscribe to their word usage. What I'm arguing against is "cancel culture", not language change.

Fun and appropriate fact: Red Guards committees in Beijing decided that red traffic light for "stop" is un-communistic and decreed to change green/red meaning to opposite. As you can imagine, this decision was reverted shortly afterwards, but not only before thousands of people died.
