You're pushing an ideology. You want people to get on board for those. By the powers of synonyms, you could just as easily say you're selling an ideology and you want people to buy in.

Reframe it in a moral or ethical framework all you want. Throw sticks, call people monsters, whatever. You're pushing a viewpoint you want people to accept. Maybe listen to the people you're trying to talk to when they tell you how they want to be engaged with.
