They are using a top-down approach to force a way of thinking by changing the words people use just like in 1984.

Dictionaries generally do change definitions over time but that's due to the way people use words over time. They have already managed to get dictionaries to change terms like man and woman but virtually no one uses those words the way they have forced the definition to be in writing.
