"Can I be liked by others" is one form of soft power, one that was and is used extensively by the left to dominate their cultural influence in cities. It's how they were able to make ideas like importing shit tier races into your countries and cheating on and divorcing your husband so widespread and accepted. Yes, you're right that it works mostly on the weak and impressionable, but the weak and impressionable are kids and without keeping the kids from being brainwashed this will never end.
