  • The Young Turk movement started with medical students.

    There were quite a few pro-segregation protests when schools were desegregated.

    There’s also a lot of cases where students with real grievances and positive intentions are coopted; most of the students protesting in the early 90s in eastern europe didn’t intend to do a color revolution and have their countries stripped for parts.


  • Louis DeJoy (born 1956 or 1957[citation needed]) is an American businessman serving as the 75th U.S. postmaster general. He was appointed in May 2020 by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Prior to the appointment, he was the founder and CEO of the logistics and freight company New Breed Logistics and was a major Republican Party donor and fundraiser for Donald Trump.[1] DeJoy is the first postmaster general since 1992 without any previous experience in the USPS and the first postmaster general in U.S. history to come directly from the board of a privately owned competitor to the public–private partnership of the USPS entity.[2] His companies still hold active service contracts with the USPS, generating controversy over conflict of interest.[3]

    That doesn’t always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.

    The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed until the 90s. For example the official number for the Gwangju uprising is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn’t include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.

    The government ordered the soldiers to shoot the protesters, and they did, and hardly anyone knows about it today.

    Indonesia is also worth looking at.
