undue influence is corruption. if you're speaking of something even less material, such as some twisted perception that by taking resources from the enemy you're somehow favoring the enemy or associating with the enemy, then I can only conclude you've fallen in a cognitive trap, because it makes no sense whatsoever to me.

the world we're trying to build won't be influenced by where the resources to build it come from. the problem would be money or resources flowing in the opposite direction.

I've no clue what you're getting at WRT phrases; odds are I'm tripping on dog whistles I'm not even aware of. I'm told that happens often. that makes whatever perceptions or triggers you derive from that no more than projections. better ask clarifying questions rather than assume I mean whatever you project on me.
