>The moment you start talking about techniques you've already objectified the person across you
There's nothing about any sort of technique that is inherent to objects and not people. Techniques are something used to achieve a goal, and if a person is involved in that goal, there's nothing wrong with using that sort of verbiage.
>thus we "must" manipulate, coerce or the very least impress conclusions down their throats.
You've made any attempt to change someone's mind out to automatically be something that's naturally evil. Ridiculous.

That’s what turning a person to an object is; to reduce them to something to achieve your goal over/with/through.

Ridiculousness is originating from your misframing which ignores the condition of participation vs instrumentalization I’ve laid out.
To give an example to non-objectifying persuasion; people pay money to get their own minds changed through therapy and it still takes years with no guaranteed success. This is obviously not “evil” (at least not inherently) because it is participatory and comes from a place of love and growth and alleviation of suffering.
