He said, you know, if you give someone kind of a frame like that, like, I really like that you're this way or that you're this kind of person that all of a sudden they'll kind of conform to that expectation that you just set for them when they might not have otherwise.

And I think that's exactly what Scott was describing was if you can essentially compliment them for being the way that you want them to be.

And obviously, it has to be a positive thing.

You can't be like, I like the fact that you're a Nazi.

But if you can put it in a positive frame where they're like, yeah, that's who I want to be, then all of a sudden, it kind of hijacks the rest of the persuasion stack.

We talked last time about the thoughts and words and beliefs and the different things that kind of cascade into actions.

And I think this is one way of kind of hijacking that and saying if you can subtly alter how someone looks at their identity, then you'll alter their behavior.

Well, I totally agree that having shared values, having shared culture is really important.

And I think that's one of the really insidious things about what the left did in the school systems that they essentially tried to get to our kids.

They tried to say, okay, we're going to teach them different values.

We're going to teach them that they're bad people and that whites are bad people or that there's all this intersectional grievances and all these wrongs that have to be somehow repaid or whatever.

they, it, it just, it creates all this division.

And, and unfortunately a lot of that whole philosophy is about division.

It's about how to get people to get into some identity that is very narrow.

You know, you're, you're not, we're not just all people now we're men and women and those are different groups and then we're different races and those are different groups and then we're different sexual orientations and those are different groups.

And like,

you got to classify yourself into this little niche.

And then suddenly you're all in these different groups that are pitted against each other.

And, you know, I think it is a very insidious thing that they did to try and build that into the curriculum.

And they really went so far with it.
