When I was young, the permissive society was about men growing their hair in a way that shocked their grandparents and middle-class girls behaving in a way that was calculated to shock Mummy and Daddy.
Now the permissive society is more about recreational violence, bullying, binge drinking etc.
I just think it’s reported more thats all, we had mods and rockers, skinheads, Hell’s Angels etc, there was certainly far more soccer violence late 60’s early seventies, though with the advent of mobile phones maybe not as “organised”.
