Coercive persuasion, Asher. Present a charismatic and dynamic personality (people, when faced with someone who flies in the face of authority, who's self esteem is enhanced, who seems to be beholden to no one but themselves, tend to want to believe that if they follow they can achieve the very same), focus on a group of people whose attention you know you can hold (in this case, vulnerable and impressionable young persons) offer something alluring and attractive (ie non-traditional, out of the mainstream, a 'safe' haven for the perceived 'wayward' - the carrot, if you will) and you find yourself not a free-thinker at all, but someone who has simply substituted one thing with another, becoming the very thing they are trying to change.
