      Yeah, US State/CIA don’t create these kind of protests out of thin air. They usually insert themselves into legitimate protests movements of people with real issues with their government, but who don’t want to overthrow it and become US puppets.

      That’s what happened at the Tianemen Square protests. The mass of people were socialists students with issues they cared about, but US State backed elements worked their way into coopting it. The Belarus protests from a few years ago is a more recent example.
