Not unfocused rage, but calling out wrong as wrong, and recognizing your only path to win is to rouse the audience to join with you
Fierceness for the sake of those who suffer or a being persecuted is a form of compassion--and people recognize leaders who do that, as opposed to those who are angry on their own behalf.
