I think one needs an Academic outlook to discern hidden agendas. I am in the Unknown here living amongst the mentally ill/disabled and being in the Unknown has forced me to research in order to suss out what is going on and it needing to be accurate in order to know how to proceed. The way is full of dangers. Plus having to learn how to be SOMETHING out of NOTHING (no social skills, wrecked lives and yet pull of by grace of God promo2)to any kind of skills.
As far as language goes Calpurnia I think there are different languages not just ethnic although that is important and national identity, felt culture. Languages have to be deeper than mastering another culture (middle class me working class culture ancient history mythology here!! and role play).Hidden agendas are most insidious when it comes to freedom of speech and expression and if one is not in public eye and under public scrutiny the authorities think they can do what they wilt. Discerning incursions is therefore a matter of discerning subtleties and complexities it is a bit like the Angel of light. Looks good but really it is a demon out to get you/your group.
NB impact of Group is making me need to offsite thoughts inspired by this Group. Philosophizing is making me feel vulnerable.
best to all KCA
