Conditions for the emergence of color revolutions
In order for revolutions to be successful, the necessary conditions for their emergence must first be created. The first and basic condition is political instability in the country, which is accompanied by a crisis of the current authorities. Political instability can be created due to electoral fraud, poor economic conditions in the country, dissatisfaction of certain groups such as farmers or artisans, school workers or medical personnel, etc. If the political situation is stable, destabilization must be created in an artificial way.
The characteristic features of revolutions are: political blackmail and the movement of young dissidents. For example country A and country B are in a diplomatic conflict over certain political issues such as borders or control over some resources. Country A wants to obtain certain concessions from country B and decides to use the colored revolutionary movement to exert pressure and achieve its political goal. The movement of young dissidents can most often be created through the student population and the dissatisfaction of students due to exorbitant tuition fees, poor conditions in canteens, overcrowded dormitories. Students organize street protests that easily destabilize the state and can incite rebellion in other layers of society.

Three phases of color revolutions
According to Gene Sharp, an American expert on non-violent struggle and a kind of father of colored revolutions, colored revolutions are led by the principle that power structures (the government) rely on their subjects (the people) – the obedience of the people enables the rulers to rule the country. If the subordinates do not submit to the authorities, the authorities lose their power in the state. According to Sharp, classical color revolutions consist of three stages. The first stage includes the creation of an “underground” movement of cells that together form a network of those dissatisfied with the ruling regime. Members are recruited with big slogans and calls to action. A network of mostly young disaffected suddenly leaves anonymity and appears on the streets of big cities in response to a certain signal. The protests want to present themselves as something spontaneous, but in fact everything was prepared earlier.
Most often, protests erupt due to some reason, such as the questionable irregularity of elections (Serbia 2000, Georgia 2003, Ukraine 2004, Russia 2012), a shocking and unexpected event, for example, the self-immolation of a seller in Tunisia in 2010, or Ukraine’s delay in the implementation of the Association Agreement EU 2013. Members of underground cells become the initiators of the rebellion. Protests, gatherings, marches, setting up fences follow. The people realize that the government may be legal but it is illegitimate and forms an anti-government movement that becomes the driving force of the future revolutionary regime change. Of course, the initiators of the protest do everything carefully and organize the majority who really believe in the proclaimed ideals. People wouldn’t be so rampant in the streets knowing they were tools in the hands of the CIA or MI6. A political crowd forms and protests last for days or weeks in the main city squares.
In the second stage, the goal is to discredit defense, security and law and order bodies through strikes, civil disobedience, riots and sabotage. Protesters are occupying city squares and streets that they do not want to leave until their demands are met. The protestors are organized by the logistics network. In the name of the masses, the protesters give an ultimatum to the government and threaten mass uprisings if they are not satisfied. The government has two choices: retaliate with force or accept the demands. The third and final phase follows, which entails the “non-violent” overthrow of the government. In fact, it is about open attacks on authorities and the occupation of government buildings, institutions and other components or symbols of government. A kind of civil assault on the “organism” of the existing political order. If the government strikes the protesters with force, the media will accuse it of crimes and killing peaceful protesters, while if it agrees to concessions, it will be swept away very quickly because the protesters will not agree to compromises.
You should repost this again, it'll definitely gain traction this timeThree phases of color revolutions

They really can't handle people filming them
Again. Actions beget reactions. Did he overreact? OK. Was she filming or did she walk up and shove it his face kind of filming? That too. Gotta say if someone was filming in my face at 4" I'd probably slap it out and take it too. Stupid people incite stupid reactions.You just saw that as “filming”? Not sure she meets the definition of “elderly” either.
ICE agents are gullible, reactionary and stupid enough to fall for it.Again. Actions beget reactions. Did he overreact? OK. Was she filming or did she walk up and shove it his face kind of filming?

Sounds like you should take advantage of this radical concept and reread your identical three-paragraph quote about the phases of color revolutions from "a kind of father" of them(And this was a separate quote; not "again". If you want to criticize posts, I recommend reading them first. It's a radicalnewconcept that I'm hoping will catch on.)
Can you point me to the identical/duplicate post so that I can concede the point? I mean, I won't remove it or stop posting, but I will gladly concede the point and apologize for the snarky return-serve. (FTR: I suspect you're wrong, as today's is a completely different source than I remember having quoted. But I'm always open to be corrected and apologizing for being wrong.)Sounds like you should take advantage of this radical concept and reread your identical three-paragraph quote about the phases of color revolutions from "a kind of father" of them
