TLDR: a big manipulation trick, maybe the biggest, is to prod people about their own identities and almost-forgotten memories, then get them to pick a stance, then get them to stand for it.
Watch out for:
1: “remember back to when you were a very young child” etc etc; 2: “now if you believe that then act on it” or “remember this next time”
Problem! This is disabling most coordination or acting-on-your-principles etc! Solution!: be reasonable and nonstupid i guess?
