Protest movements and political crises happen in any turning, although their character is different according to to the turning. The recent anti-government protests in Thailand resemble the Revolutions which happened in the Germany and Austro-Hungarian empires, at the end of WW1.
I read that the young anti-government activists in Thailand, to me resembled the Xer Anti-WTO protesters back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Also, the young anti-immigration detention protesters back in the early 2000's in Australia, who torn down the fences of a immigration detention center and allowed Asylum Seekers to escape.
I really need to write a post about the character of radical Nomad political activists, often they are the most strident (the music of Rage Against the Machine really describes this mentality quite well). Also, a large number of influential political theorists came from Nomad Generations as well.
