Vincent Bevins just published a new book on this topic:
If We Burn; The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution
He was interviewed about it on the TrueAnon podcast, but I dunno if that was in the public feed or the bonus feed.
and no one gives a shit ( anyhow his first book about the CIA was pretty cool, too! I heard an interview with him about the new book on the Intercept podcast, and his narrative is something I‘ve been thinking about for some time.
