Absolutely. Those who are engaging in the superficial side of cultural manipulation, superficial "social warriors" when they fail to demonstrate empathy to all sides, all people, have been consciously or unconsciously exploited, or are active consciously, in this type of linguistic and cultural manipulation. https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/culture-2018-0023/html?lang=en This process of societal manipulation, under the guise and pretence of "social justice" has been underway with intention for decades, and there is a sort of penultimate fruition of this intention which we now see manifesting in all online communities as well as in the real world. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2021.1926982 There are two sides, in fact many sides and viewpoints which can be considered valid, and from the point of view of some, "Cultural Marxism" does not even exist and is simply a "far right" meme or even an "anti semitic conspiracy theory". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory Sun Tzu's The Art of War may be a useful foundation for comprehending the tactics underlying some of the things we read on Wikipedia and elsewhere... intention is witnessed ultimately in the effects of the action, not in what is said. The mind is the great trickster. Evil thrives only in darkness as wile thrives in convoluted linguistic tactics. Be not deceived and bring as much light as possible, that ALL sides may be heard and beheld for their truth, both exposit and clandestine. For those who got this far, a gem to possibly assist you in unpacking that which you may have not witnessed before: https://ijcrsee.com/index.php/ijcrsee/article/view/13/570 "... A lie and manipulation are opposed to different types of truth: a lie stands up against “semantic truth”; manipulation opposes “pragmatic truth”. Manipulation is realized when the listener cannot see the speaker’s covered intentions behind what is actually being said. As one of the key parameters of manipulative utterance is specific intentionality, in order to discriminate manipulation, one has to analyze such parameters as aim of verbal communication, communicative intention, reason, and motive. Manipulation is pragmatic aspect that achieves its goals without evident detection of communicative intention: the speaker wittingly chooses such form of utterance that lacks direct signals of his intentional condition..."
