I think you are both too optimistic and naive about how the world works. The so called "Arab spring" was fomented and organized by assets from our very own alphabet soup agencies. Far from being organic movements, these were orchestrated at the whim of Uncle Sam. If any such activity were attempted here at home, you can rest assured the participants would be Waco'd and a narrative spun in the complicit media that they were homegrown terrorists.
As far as what's coming .... If anything, the last year has shown us that the population will accept tyranny without so much as a sideways questioning glance. In virtually every country on Earth, liberty was curtailed. In no country was liberty expanded. Since tyranny has gone unchecked, you can expect more of it. The primary lesson of the pandemic is that people crave the boot at their throat, and will shout down anybody that even suggests a more rational course of action.
I'm hoping for an awakening, but preparing for (and honestly expecting) a new dark age.
