"because by doing this Americans either identify with shame, in which they'll surrender their rights"

The Beaver Wars, a series of conflicts fought intermittently during the 17th century in North America throughout 

the Saint Lawrence River valley in Canada and the Great Lakes region which pitted the Iroquois  against the Hurons, northern Algonquians and their French allies. As a result of this conflict, the Iroquois destroyed several confederacies and tribes through warfare: the Hurons or Wendat,  ErieNeutralWenroPetunSusquehannockMohican and northern Algonquins whom they defeated and dispersed, some fleeing to neighbouring peoples and others assimilated, routed, or killed.

Beaver hides had become a valuable commodity in trade with Europeans to the point where the native said basically decimated the local Beaver population the tribes would go to war to secure more territory and capture more beavers and the Iroquois would prove to be ruthless.  By the end of the war 90% of the Huron had been killed, the women and children.  The Susquehannock no longer existed.  The Erie no longer existed.  All three tribes genocided by the Iroquois.  But American schools don't teach what really happened because it goes against the Marxist agenda to separate people into camps of victims versus oppressors.  So the natives have to be the victims, and the Europeans have to be the oppressors because by doing this Americans either identify with shame, in which they'll surrender their rights, because they think they deserve it, or they identify as the victim and have no connection to the founding of America at all.

Signaling their conformity to in-group norms and values.  You display the appropriate opinions.  You abide by the accepted taboos, and then you identify as a member of the group.  You belong.  What makes people susceptible to that is a pre-existing condition of insecurity; of not belonging; of having no community; of having no identity in relation to the world, in relation to your own purpose; not knowing, "Who am I?"  If you don't have a strong sense of "Who am I?" then you will be insecure.  If you don't have strong connections to community, or other people who know who you are, then you'll feel insecure and you'll be susceptible to substitutes or other offerings of a sense of belonging and identity which could be through virtue signaling membership in various opinion tribes, political affiliations.  Also, the same underlying insecurity and poverty, to return to that, is a kind of poverty, a poverty of relationship.  Also makes people susceptible to cults, and conspiracy theories, including the cult that we call the mainstream.  That's very much a cult as well, and during COVID really acted like a cult.
