Yes, and no, OP.

Yes being like a hive mind. I've met alot of Corrupt beings online, physically, and even Astrally over the years. Every time it's up to exactly the same thing - individuality is not appreciated. Love, compassion, and everything that is Holy... and even everything that is inherently evil are to be shunned at all costs. While not all Corrupt beings are oozing black goo and/or their black energies, but get them angry and you'll be able to easily tell as they'll uncontrollably utilize their Corruption while angry. The physical manifestation(s) of such can include bleeding a black goo and/or their eyes become a blackness throughout their eye sockets.

Astrally, from what I've seen so far, OP, they typically physically shape shift into their true abject terror inducing form while angry. Most people of most species can not withstand such Corrupt beings' physical forms due to they expel phenomenal amounts of Corrupt energies that can infect up to both the environment and living entities. This is why and how if you've seen formerly good people who began to hang out with questionable people wind up becoming up to exactly like their new friends and you fail up to miserably at convincing your soon-to-be ex-friend that their friends are the essence of toxicity chances are your friend is now Corrupt and serves that purpose now. Your best bet in life and even death is to run away from such people the best you can and seek out other non-Corrupt beings.

No being while Corruption is like a hive mind not all Corrupt beings overtly respond to their hive mentality well. There are alot of Corrupt planets and peoples out there in this galaxy alone, and vastly more outside of this galaxy and dimension, OP. From my Astral experiences alone in my current lifetime I've seen on other planets that the subversive option via "Corrupt Command" structures that are in place one way or another. By this I mean there are Corrupt religions in place to wholly control entire vast populations on and off planet with virtually complete control over those populations' minds. Think Catholicism, Islam, and Christianity merged into one religion. Then this same religion is used to mind control people into unquestioning obedience into committing the greatest of genocides. Furthermore, these people have some of the greatest senses of patriotism and other stuff that are already present on this planet, but to the greatest of extremes. These are not extremes to those Corrupted peoples, OP. These things are simply part of their day to day lives, and helps to give their literally worthless yet vile existences meaning.

So all in all, OP, Corruption is being sold as the single most beautiful and most desired of all things in the Universe. Luciferianism and Satanism are the two most powerful Corrupt religions by far in this galaxy as far as I know with many lesser Corrupt religions here and there.

You've noticed the "black goo/blood" phenomenon in so many Hollywood movies over the last some decades, OP? If so, you're not the only individual who have noticed that. It's all part of Predictive Programming, but long term instead of the usual short term Predictive Programming. It's been shown sometimes that black blood and/or goo has up to immensely powerful "evolutionary" powers especially in the new Alien prequel movies. It's marketed as "you're a pathetic and weak little bitch who deserves to fucking die(!!) if you don't accept the black blood and/or goo" one way and other times as something so mysterious and unfathomable that you just have to get injection, pills, or whatever of the black goo/blood into you so you too can enjoy the fruits of your new forced evolution.

If you want to see the ultimate beauty of Corruption, OP and anyone else, just watch the somewhat new Hollywood movie, Annihilation. The actresses and storyline are utter crap. That's not why the movie did so well and beloved by dang near everyone who saw it. Annihilation did so well because it showed what happens when a Corrupted planet and it's Corrupted soul self destructs or otherwise is destroyed and at least one fragment of said Corrupted planet crash lands on a non-Corrupt planet.

The "aura" of the extraterrestrial fragment literally Corrupts all it touches. The Corruption of whatever lifeform and/or the environment doesn't happen instantly, but gradually and really begins whenever the "aura" touches you. Two general factors are used to generate your "time to your total Corruption" - your proximity to the impact zone and how long you've been inside of the "Aura". As you can see in Annihilation, Corruption is portrayed as the single most beautiful and awe inspiring of things in the known Universe.

The alligator scene is quickly dropped by the characters as a heck of a fluke albeit a terrifying one. You get to see in the recovered video tape on the only fricken camcorder on the all-women team just what Corruption did to one solider's body somewhat recently. Then the members begin to drop off for their own reasons, including moments of crippling stupidity. The black woman of the team at some point willingly accepts and fully embraces her Corruption as she proclaims it to feel wonderful beyond description. She then runs around a nearby bend and joins the rest of the "tree and flower" people.

By the final scene of the movie the last two women standing one is inside of the Corrupt crater where the Corrupted piece of extraterrestrial planet impacted the Earth. You can clearly see that there is no piece of a foreign planet in the impact zone. Just a very large cave with what looks to be black goo and/or blood covering the walls and slowly and constantly movie. The lead woman of the team sits in the exact place of the original impact zone. The camera is situated to show she has no eyes and her face is somewhat askew too. The second surviving woman comes in and interjects what is going on. The camera changes position to near the second woman and the lead woman turns around with her normal human face. The two of them get into a struggle of words or whatever before the lead woman completely caves into her Corruption.

She has a complete transformation from human into something that I've long considered to be the "Corruptor" class of the Corrupt. So yes, OP, in the Corrupt rank and file there is such thing as Corrupt beings whose sole job it is to Corrupt non-Corrupt beings no matter the cost(s) to them. This "Corruptor" being is up front showing the greatest of greatest beauties Corruption has to offer, but the other half of the beast, the rear half shows the greatest horrors Corruption has to offer.

Due to the second woman's facial injuries sustained earlier in the movie the Corruptor beast successfully draws in a single drop of blood into itself from her. It very rapidly cell divides over and over till it forms a literal perfect, yet wholly Corrupted image/body of her. Almost immediately after the Corruptor beast successfully creates this new Corrupt beast in the last woman standing the Corruptor beast dies off in the form of ashing out of what humans would call existence.

The ending to Annihilation is complete BS to me in the away of a single woman who didn't know what the heck she was doing, but was actively fighting her own Corruption as best as she was able to do so uses a phosphorous flare to set her Corrupted image on fire before her Corrupted image went to the core of the Corrupted cave and set the whole place on fire from there therefore saving the Earth from it's inevitable Corruption within a few short years. The end of the movie shows both her husband and herself are both heavily Corrupted, but not only made peace with their Corruption but fully embracing their Corruption.

I've been long wondering since I watched Annihilation, OP, if the movie is simply a covert storytelling of a real past event from long ago here on Earth... or simply Predictive Programming. Such as the Illuminati knows for a fact there are one or more such Corrupted fragments of exploded Corrupt planets en route to the Earth and soon to impact the Earth to forcibly Corrupt the Earth as fast as possible.

Sorry, OP, for the long post. I just didn't realize till I was about half way through that I realized I still had more to say on this topic. Whoops! Though if you're interested to see what I mean about Annihilation feel free to go watch it yourself. I wound up butchering some of the described scenes for breivity's sake.
