The Fight for Anything

Humans, as all animals, are genetically made to fight. It is our instinct. And as with all instincts, the threshold for an action diminishes in the absence of a suitable object. If there is no obvious target, we will invent one. We should realize, that in the 'social unrest', the object is often far less important then the fight itself. We need to fight for something, for anything. Or even better, against something, against anything. And this is a bad news because it means that even if all demands are satisfied, the anger will not go away. New demand will be created so that the fight can continue.
