No need for ideological and government ops (at least not yet), just a good misdirection of ideas from an unwitting person or grifter, that were decidedly purveyed around western liberal mass media, at face value or manipulated beyond originator's intent.

I don't wanna hear shit like "1984". Those were made with the intent to be blatantly anti-communist and pro-western

An example would include the Stanford prison experiments

It turns out that the cruelty exhibited by the guards was not spontaneous. On the contrary; the guards were coached beforehand by Zimbardo. And some of the prisoners have admitted that the distress they exhibited was faked.

(Note: lemme guess, someone gonna @ on how I'm ironically use pop culture to debunk pop culture. Yes, we do live in a society...)

Nonetheless, this study was one of many that solidified "human nature is inherently evil" sort of shticks...

You're wrong about the whole phrase/original phrase things. A lot of those are completely made with their only source being a random internet post. I gotta find the youtibe linguist video I saw debunking it, it was recommended to me from ian misali's tumblr. The jack of all trades was a particular one he made sure to note.

I think this onlymakes your point more interesting. Our society has shifted towards this specialization so much we've contorted old sayingd to have new meanings to fit the newer world, and then tried to pretend it was always the case.
