The unsaved (the whole world, in fact) lie in the wicked one, and it is impossible to discern any difference between the lack of love there(think shunning) and the lack of love and shunning the LCers dish out. I see patterns and similarities wherever that devil works, even if there is no blatant connection.....

Yes - Satan corresponding to our flesh. In many respects he's sort of a "one-trick pony" in that his approach is generally the same over and over. Even in Eden, it was the allure of pride in being able to see, do and control things apart from God. Pride strongly entered into the LC.
No matter how good something appears - think TLR in the 60s - if there's any opening for the enemy, then the flesh will rise up to take control. And the stronger the move of the Lord, the more the enemy will seek to control it. The speed at which this happened in the LC, however, is truly astounding!
