Demoralizing and exhausting others by whatever means, causes people to give into oppessors just to leave them alone. It's an unavoidable response to battering.

The technique is used to set one's self above others by those who don't respect others or believe in equality. Those attacked end up paying the others just to leave them alone.

Works great.
