It had been my goal to cut through that, but it only served to make him stand his ground. He believes that she owns us, that we are not ourselves other than what we are under her lead.

[Lexa is not self-aware enough to call out her mistakes here, to say that she shouldn't push people into a corner just to see how they might react once they're there. It's how she responds to people regularly to see how they might react, even if it's hurtful ... manipulative, as Hux himself said.
But even so, there is the sense that she truly does believe that Kylo Ren's tendency to devote himself to a different vision of reality will cost them greatly. Especially when those beliefs are held by someone so powerful.]
