The extent to which you're able to signal your capacity for violence through your face and body will ultimately determine how much people respect you, admire you, and surrender to you, because they are naturally guided by self-preservation through the path of least resistance which they can only take by surrendering to you and grouping with you.
In a low-trust and Darwinian world full of selfish, hyper-partisan, and solipsistic autonomous agents who operate on the lowest tier of morality and understand only their own needs, being able to communicate the existential threat of violence is critical because it is the only thing will make these blindly selfish and evil people respect your concerns. Things like persuasion and empathy don't work because these devices appeal to higher order of cognition and morality which selfish people typically lack in, which makes compulsion through threats or direct exertion of force absolutely necessary.
