Hooliganism is members of the Working Class fighting other members of the Working Class or foreigners due to nothing more than tribalism and enjoying violence.
It has zero to do with pushing back on those with power over them or standing up for one’s principles.
Hooliganism is actually a perfect example of the one of the ways the elites in the UK control the “lower” classes by having them discharge their anger at each other instead of going against the powerful.

Honestly, it’s not been terribly effective, and the ones who stir the most shit usually don’t do it for the right reasons.

I feel you, protests in my country are not as effective as french or spanish protests, and usually devolve into large picnics instead.
Because you can’t protest in an empty stomach. On the other hand, now we’re too full to protest. Let’s go home, Benfica is playing today.
