On the cause for the hooligan behavior

The hypothesis is put forward that hooligan behavior is based on some unperceived protest of an individual, or a group, against intellectual overstress, or, equivalently, it is based on the individuals' intuitive fear of such overstress that the society imposes (or "threatens" to impose) on them. The violent actions of the hooligans combine the quick movements that develop (activate) the left hemisphere of the brain, and the cruelty that prevents development (activity) of the right hemisphere, which improves the balance in the development of the hemispheres. Hooliganism indicates an important alarm informing one about the increasing intellectual stress in the society, which indeed is unhealthy for many. The hooligans need help, which, as the recent "days of violence" show, is rather urgent. However, the things to be changed are traditional, not well controlled, and thus hardly can be changed quickly. Some constructive suggestions are formulated. 1. A point of view on the hooliganism The present communication is motivated by the omission in [1] of the important topic of hooliganism, which becomes most obvious in view of the not really understood "days of violence" [2] that recently have shocked some civilized societies, including, e.g., that of Great Britain. The latter events, showing a new aspect of hooligan behavior, which seems to be "hooliganism for hooliganism" or violence without any simply visible profit, seem to strongly support the hypothesis of [1] that is applied now to the "simple" hooliganism. Let us recall that [1] considers a unique, but exceptionally important case of cruelty (the holocaust) and argues that it was caused by an intellectual overstress of a significant part of the German populatiom, which had been expressed via neurological reasons, by a very unusual mental decease/disorder. Any attempt of explaining the holocaust by the usual arguments/reasons, associated with common human needs and reasonable behavior or logic, does not provide any convincing explanation, especially on the background of the traditionally high morality of Germans. Work [1] observes that the terrible cruelness of the holocaust was strangely expressed (not as the psychically normal human hate), and it is written there: "Hitler was a strong leader with an intuitive ability to understand the crowd, but was very poorly educated in any sense, which was, obviously, absolutely not appropriate for a man who had gained such power, and Hitler in power is seen here as an unperceived rebellion of Germans against the intellectual overstress." Our opinion is that the reasons for hooligan behavior are of the same basic nature as the Nazis' behavior, even if the scales of the problems being touched are very different. In both cases, cruelty is aimed [1] to restore the balance between the
