If you want to talk about Virtue Signaling, and the "Useful Idiots" pushing a particular set of ideas in the most underhanded means possible that is fine. We all just need to be on the same page when it comes to terms
Prior to the Age of Enlightment, Science and Philospy were one and the same, but over time Science became the laws of nature, and philisoy became the thoughts of nature
Historically, "philosophy" encompassed any body of knowledge.[14] From the time of Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle to the 19th century, "natural philosophy" encompassed astronomy, medicine, and physics.[15]
Philosophical methods include questioning, critical discussion, rational argument, and systematic presentation.[7][8] Classic philosophical questions include: Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?[9][10][11] What is most real? Philosophers also pose more practical and concrete questions such as: Is there a best way to live? Is it better to be just or unjust (if one can get away with it)?[12] Do humans have free will?[13]
In the modern era, some investigations that were traditionally part of philosophy became separate academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics.
