More like he was addressing people who like getting told what to think. People who don't like getting told what they are supposed to think may take offense.
I wasn't much of a fan of public transportation, but when people started to talk like owning and driving an SUV was a natural right and assuming that all conservatives think and should think that way, it make me a little friendier to public transit.
So by your own definition he told you want to think. You didn’t care before he told you that you didn’t like it. Then you decided to like it because he told you not to like it. So by trying to go against someone telling you what you like, you allowed someone to change your opinion of it.
Which essentially defeats your own purpose and disproves the fact that you can’t be told what to think. Its just that someone needs to tell you the opposite of what they want you to think, and then you will think exactly what they want you to think.
