It's actually quite easy to understand, given a sufficient understanding of human nature.

You're trying to dominate a social situation, because you think you are right (and by extensions, that there are others who will support you and strengthen your position) and because there's a lack of physical threat.

In the real world, you would not want to cause a ruckus, because there could be consequences, and your are not the dominant member of the group. For example; someone could punch you.

If you could, you would want to dominate any situation that you can. We are wired that way.
