And--how about that--he is a body of water. Let's see what we've got
here:

The Spirit of Sympathy
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/16/opinion/16brooks.html

Political leaders have an incentive to get their followers to use the
group mode of cognition, not the person-to-person. People who are
thinking in the group mode are loyal, disciplined and vicious against
foes. People in the person-to-person mode are soft, unpredictable and
hard to organize.
