I find this to be snake-like behaviour.

  Which part? Sometimes the right thing to do is to speak up in public and offer a different opinion, sometimes the right thing is to have a private conversation. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, which part do you feel is snake-like?

  Sometimes it’s one of the only ways to deal with difficult people in authority if you don’t want to just blindly accept their authority… As the saying goes, “don’t hate the players, hate the game”

  What do you consider to be the alternative? Fighting authority is (by definition) an asymmetric battle. There are "honorable" ways to fight authority. Frontal assault, or just plain old disobedience. Sometimes those are the best ways. Sometimes not.

  Consider that forcing people to hear, consider, react and "vote" on something in public might be the "snake like" behavior. Some topics require quiet reflection. Some topics do better with a secret ballot. Some objections are heard better in private, etc. Or, sometimes, it's just poker, and revealing your hand too early puts you at a disadvantage to someone else that's also manipulating the circumstances to benefit themselves. It's all regrettable, but that's the human condition.
