The upcoming US Purple revolution
Since Donald Trump won the elections there has been an obvious increase in revolutionary movements in the US. [1] The reasons for dissatisfaction vary between each movement, but they are unified against the Trump administration. Whether it's about illegal immigration, SJWs, women rights, black people or anti-Trump they all attract the typical leftist minds. Those described in Ted Kaczynski's Unabomber manifesto.[2]
There has been a lot of talk about the deep state trying to destroy the current administration [3], DNC and George Soros are also heavily involved [4], most of the world's mass media [5], most likely even Chinese [6] and Russian elements.
It appears that the resistance is getting stronger every month, which is unprecedented considering that the average US citizen cannot afford spending time protesting and is easily distractable. The Occupy Wallstreet Movement was dismantled from the inside by FBI agents [7] and SJW identity politics. In contrast all current "grassroots" movements are now fueled by the identity politics and are supported by some agents from the US government.
There are many common attributes shared with the colour revolutions that happened in post-Soviet countries of Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, Ukraine (2004 and 2014), Serbia (2011) and the recent Middle Eastern Arab Spring revolutions.[8] All of these followed the ideology of (temporary) non-violent resistance. The initial seed of these movements is embedded within US funded non-government organizations such as National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Open Society Foundations (OSF) and others.
The symbolism is there. Mainly the resistance fist, but also some kind of a unique symbol - such as the purple hats.[9] There is also a figure they see as a dictator they want to overthrow, previously people like Milošević, Yanukovych, Gaddafi. In a nutshell: the movement is based on the idea that you pull people from the system, make the people believe they will be part of the better future and the system collapses. This is different from attacking the government directly. Then once the movement reaches critical mass (about 10% of the population), some kind of martyr will serve as a spark to justify violence against the government. From then on chaos arises and paid agents (both foreign and domenstic) make sure that there's bloodshed.[10]
Resources on color revolutions
The basic idea stems from Geen Sharp's theory on non-violent revolution.[11] The Otpor/CANVAS movement originated from Serbian revolution, the central figure is Srdja Popovic[12]. Wikileaks have more information about them on their website.[13] Their materials are published online in the CANVAS library [14]. There's a nice documentary about this movement made by the Journeyman Pictures called "Revolutionaries for Hire".[15]
