I see that glazed look a lot. I'm sure I mentioned one recent episode, where some mollusc told me to put my mask on in 7eleven, I just told him to "fuck off!" everyone in the world understands that! And he just blanked... really... blanked, as if it hadn't happened. I stared at him to fathom some deeper reaction. None. Not even a shrug or a "fuck you back" look. He could have thought "bloody foreigner" but it must have lurked in some deep recess of his mind. Dunno... abhumans.

That glazed look is frightening, like walking in a world of ghosts.
It's at times funny though how others react when they come into a situation picturing a certain outcome and then find none of it unfolds as they envisioned. The mollusc in your story was under the misconception that the power the political tryants hold somehow was transferable to himself. Of course I'm sure he had several instances where others complied, perhaps even with apology as they too were under the misconception he held such authority as well.
I'm Imagining his surprise when you taught him his perceived power was all illusion unless he personally was willing to come over and switch roles to enforcer, which is what the politicians have that gives them that special edge in issuing orders. Suddenly epiphany time when one must don the hat of violence to back up a command.
I'm sure though that later that night you were the topic of his social media virtue signaling as he licked his wounds and sought virtual hugs over the atrocities you made him endure that day.
