Agreed. But they are still expendable assets, who can and are replaced when needed. Hence, they do feel fear when pushed.
That's the funny thing about lies vs truth : when you work from lies you start to show fear the harder you are being pushed. If you work from truth, the more you are pushed, the more you show courage.
This guy is showing 100% fear and only (like you wrote) "cultivated and pruned" response.
What is interesting about the management of these characters is the saturation threshold where at some point it becomes so discernible that it can not be ignored by the masses -- so does this empire building smartly choose to place limitations on embedding these types, a sort of 51% margin, so as to fly below the radar? At times of late it seems like ambitious growth has them over reach -- for example Mexico is about to have a female Jewish president. A year after Argentina installed a radical Zionist. These are not subtle organic moves. The aggression of late feels like a confidence.
