One weapon I see is the manipulation of words. "just be yourself" Is one good one. They extend on it, "if you want to do it, do it.". They use the "just be yourself" as a way for you to never reach beyond yourself, or to accept the evil that might be in your heart because its apart of you.
I used to tell my friends "don't be youself, be who you want to be, be who you yourself would admire."
