Subversion of Subverted Expectations

A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".
We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.

Ideological Subversion

Ideological subversion is changing the perception of reality in 4 steps:

1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3. Crisis
4. New Normal

Ideological subversion by T.H.R.U.S.H. for insectualization. T.H.R.U.S.H. = Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity.
Ideological subversion, or “active measures”, is a form of psychological warfare. Programmed to react to stimuli but unable to change perception or logic. Moral standards, facts and common sense have no meaning. Forever process of new normal – problem, reaction, solution. Social credit scores. Order ab chao.

Rian-Subversion

When there is a twist in a movie that has no build up, makes no sense and happens just to shock the audience.
Such a practice was created by Rian Johnson with his controversial movie, The Last Jedi.
Guy 1: Hey dude! Did you see that movie?
Guy 2: I did, and it was shit.
Guy 1: How so?
Guy 2: The characters are bland, and the movie does the Rian-Subversion too much.
Guy 1: Dear god...

Subversive Measures

Subversive Measures - Refers to certain tactics or methods which are implemented or carried out either overtly or covertly or both so to achieve a political objective or intent. Such measures are no limited explicitly to political application only, but rather they can also be applied in a Social context and can be an important tool or element of Social engineering.
Subversive Measures, can be compared with the overt and covert methods utilised during the former Soviet Union in relation with implementing Censorship, a process which had been used in both political and social capacities and had been contrived by Leon Trotsky ( Preventative Censorship) and was enforced by the Glavlit agency.

Subversive

Subversive politics: Subversion refers to an attempt to overthrow structures of authority, including the state. It is an overturning or uprooting. The word is present in all languages of Latin origin, originally applying to such diverse events as the military defeat of a city.

Subversive activity: Subversive activity is the lending of aid, comfort, and moral support to individuals, groups, or organizations that advocate the overthrow of incumbent governments by force and violence. All willful acts that are intended to be detrimental to the best interests of the government and that do not fall into the categories of treason, sedition, sabotage, or espionage are placed in the category of subversive activity.

And last but not least:
Subversive behavior: Subversive behavior is to undermine somebody with various trick (lies, cheats, backstabbing, false advice etc...) where the intent or goal is not visible at all.
The subversive person often assumes little responsibility and occupies a border position in the project. To the group says how bad is the management to the management says how bad is the group and to the big boss says how bad are both and how good is he and he should be made boss.
He's goal is to undermine the project so that it fails and he can emerge as the new knows it all leader.
