You pretty much answered some of your questions in your first paragraph.
When people feel they are pushed against the wall whether it be something tangible or their values. They are moved to act out in someway. It isn't always the most constructive way but they feel like their backs are against they wall and they will be angry enough to move to act out.
It usually falls back to their own personal self interest. If something is affecting the way that they conduct their daily life or they have some connection to it by how they were mistreated in the past then they will definitely move to action.
