I don't think that question can be answered without some kind of degree in psychology, sociology and mathematics.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
I think it's way too complicated. In multi-cell organisms, all the cells seak greater pleasure for the entire organism and avoid pain. It gets really complicated in society, because sometimes it's more involved, it serves the organism better to be publicly accepted than to be publicly ridiculed. So, although there isn't a definite sense of pleasure or pain in the physical sense, there is in the emotional sense. So many times, sheople just go with the flow to gain acceptance and ignore their own perceptions.
Someone can make something really terrible, sound really good, and if a few people agree, next thing you know everyone agrees and you are living in Nazi germany. It's the same reason Beanie Babies were so popular. People suck. If that doesn't make any sense, I'm sorry, it's complicated.

The circumstances that "pop" these little "bubbles of comfort" is force of action, namely in the form of an ultimatum. No action is still action however towards the opposition.
Then there's physical environmental circumstances that affect further...

It's complicated but it can be simplified.
Before conflict comes disagreement. A series of ultimatums without resolve.
that is true...how bout friction / malcontent is the impetus for moving in society...
Kills a pound of pain
A series of events leading up to an ultimatum. 90% live in this friction daily until that one day...
