Well, I truly don't think that those protests are "new". They've been going on for a long time probably up-swinging and getting crushed cyclical for years on end. Every now and then when it seems helpful for their narrative, the media picks it up to gain attention - this time very effectively.

It's truly sickening, those unarmed people will not be able to overturn their government. #nobloodyway They just get their bones crushed in front of our cameras.

It's #protestporn for the CNNs of the world to broadcast, while we should focus on solving the problems we've created for ourselves over the last couple of years. We lost a lot of freedom ourselves as well, we lost sovereignty, are entangled in a new hot and cold war with Russia. Lots of things to take on here in "the west".
