I am convinced that the Occupy Wall Street movement began organically, but was quickly commandeered by forces who figured out how to use it for fun and profit. I think the Yellow Vest movement is similar. The vast majority want to be led; they want direction given to them. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations add up, widespread, heartfelt revolution can be inspired by a relatively small trigger. That is when those who aspire to lead run to the front of the parade in hopes of being followed.

Of course lots of money, charismatic leadership or a really good cause will vie for position. Let's see how this one plays out.
