For anyone pondering joining such actions, these would be leaders.
If you’re thinking of joining, and the leaders look “weak”, it might not inspire much faith. You might decide to hold back.
The truth is, she looked calm and collected, confident in her decisions and actions. She looks like a leader. She looks like someone worth following. That type of imagery is dangerous if you’re trying to suppress action.
So, in short, it’s an attempt at active suppression, not just a “treat” for thier own. It’s the modern equivalent of going on about how short Napoleon is. It’s an attempt to diminish those they’re afraid of to try and keep others from following them.
It’s not JUST for thier base.
