It's not really remarkable because governments rarely come up with nasty names. Even then the cultural revolution isn't an inherently positive. Culture can be good or bad and so can revolutions

Of course they don't. But what's remarkable, and the U.S. is no exception here, is that the names they come up with are quite often the diametric opposite of what effects they actually have. The "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" is but one recent example.
