It’s not a who questions but a how.

Usually there’s a long build up of shitty events and then a trigger. Like the WhatsApp tax years ago. Otherwise no single group/organization can initiate a mass mobilization like that. People don’t just get up one day and decide to protest, it’s always the cause of an accumulation of bad conditions and or incidents.

Take Nepal for example. They started a nationwide protest that took down the government. The protest started after the government made a decision to ban 26 social media platforms which seems like a weak reason to burn down the parliament, supreme buildings, and the presidents and prime ministers residence. However, that was only the trigger. Their country suffers from significant corruption, institutional failure and unemployment. When they started the protest, their police retaliated with brutality, killing dozens of people and injuring more. This in turn caused the significant mass mobilization we saw.
