The Protests and the Metamovement
Across the globe, protests are rippling out like vectors in an epidemic.
I believe that we’re witnessing the rise of a global Metamovement.
The Metamovement is a movement of movements. Not all these movements are similar, and no two are exactly like. The Arab Spring is part of the Metamovement; the London Riots were part of the Metamovement; India’s nationwide anti-corruption protests were part of the Metamovement, just like Israel’s massive demonstrations were; protests spreading across America, under the banner of Occupy Wall Street, are all part of the Metamovement.
