State consent is secured by educating affect, not just internalizing norms.

Evidence

Such a focus opens to another possible premise: that the role of the state is not only, as Antonio Gramsci defined it, in the business of “educating consent.” More basically, that such consent is made possible not through some abstract process of “internalization,” but by shaping appropriate and reasoned affect, by directing affective judgments, by adjudicating what constituted moral sentiments (that is, affectively informed good reason)—in short, by educating the proper distribution of sentiments and desires. — Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain_ Epistemic…, 427
