At the same time, Gen Z protests were also unmoored from traditionalcultural icons and symbols. Even the main protest site in Yangon, theHledan business and shopping district with its banks, restaurants andbrand-name fashion shops, communicated a different set of associationsfrom those of earlier anti-colonial and anti-military protests.

Beginning in late October 1973, at the behest of popularcalls, the measure was used to investigate and seize the assets of Thanom,Narong, and Praphat, at least partially with the idea of using the funds torepair the damage done by state forces when they repressed activists duringthe protests surrounding 14 October 1973.

The altar cloths are washed on Mondays. The candles are also changed on that day. I like to change them on Mondays, because Mondays are dull and somber. New candles brighten up the church and bring clarity. When you clean the saints use soap and water. Not too much soap or you'll get too much foam. Then it will take you forever to rinse them. Make sure you dry them well with the cloth I set aside for them. Talita will show you. You know, that’s one thing I always liked doing, washing the saints and angels. I like to bathe them as if they were my children. Clean their ears and elbows real good, as I would do a baby. And talk to them. They like it when you talk to them. They like to listen.

This seems todisplay a certain disinterest in the labour contract, as if it were an irrelevant piece of paper. Yet,when directly asked whether they considered contracts as an effective tool to protect their rights,22.3 percent of the workers responded affirmatively (keyi) and 49.2 percent was relativelyoptimistic (hai keyi), compared with only 7.3 percent who expressed disbelief (bu keyi), and 21.2percent who did not know how to answer.

ollective appeals are more likely to be successful than are individual ones, inasmuch as collective appeals exert more pressure on the government.

hen an appropriate sequence is chosen

the pedagogical process of disguised collective action fosters col-lective consciousness.

even if atomized actions succeeded in securing compensation in the short term, they may lose efficacy over the long term as the state absorbs this form of contention through paying off or demobilizing individ-ual claimants

the performance of threat is purposively public and loud to attract audience participation from journalists to bystanders and other aggrieved citizens.

This performativity distinguishes atomized actions from other forms of quiet resistance such as “weapons of the weak” (Scott, 1985). Atomized actions are meant to attract public attention, which is amplified by the possibility of media coverage.

While collective contention calls for immediate dispatch of the hard and relational repression (Deng & O’Brien, 2013), atomized actions are more contained threats, which usually elicit soft repression, such as buying off the individual protestors and harassing the organizations involved.

Why do atomized actions elicit a response from the state? When an aggrieved citizen deploys the repertoire of atomized actions, she both makes a public dis-ruption of social order and lodges a symbolic appeal to the moral authority of local bureaucrats.

The inadequacy of the rule of law—exemplified by the long wait for arbi-tration—necessitated the escalation of atomized actions

activists may then instruct claimants to deploy performance threats

These actions are “atomized” in that they are deployed by lone citizens to induce local bureaucrats to respond to their demands.

One of the major changes has been the explosion of civil society organizations that are permitted to operate with a degree of limited autonomy from government and party insti-tutions

they act as unconventional mobiliz-ing structures by coaching aggrieved citizens to make rights claims without engaging in potentially perilous protests.

Drawing on prior protests and civil society engagement, civil society actors in the 2016self-nomination movement strategically adopted a rights-based collective action frame tounderscore the legitimacy of their contention, and wielded social media as an instrumentto mobilize proponents for their claims.

This transnational paradise, moreover, left little room for democracy.

Confronted with such a disruption, tax-paying civic nationalism can quickly devolve into something much darker: a dehumanizing hatred that turns Jews into "vermin," Tutsis into "cockroaches," or Muslims into "terrorists."

it is easily destabilized, particularly by the forces of globalization, which can make people who were once the archetypes of their culture feel irrelevant and bring them into contact with very different sorts of neighbors than their grandparents had.

From Black Lives Matter, to the anger of non-college educated white males, and extending to the misogynistic online community of Incels, liberal democracy is perceived as functioning for some but not for whichever particular group believes it suffers from being structurally excluded.

, the norm of live-and-let live or bounded competition has deteriorated within liberal democratic societies as political contests are increasingly portrayed as battles over identity.

This analysis also reveals clear period effects, reflecting current economic conditions: the intergenerational difference persist, but in times of insecurity, all cohorts shift toward more Materialist views-- and with economic recovery, they shift back toward their long-term baseline, so that across this 38-year span, given cohorts remain at least as Post-materialist as they were at the start

This perspective emphasizes that populist support can be explained primarily as a social psychological phenomenon, reflecting a nostalgic reaction among older sectors of the electorate seeking a bulwark against long-term processes of value change, the ‘silent revolution’, which has transformed Western cultures during the late twentieth century.

Populist support should also be predicted by subjective feelings of economic insecurity, such as among those reporting difficulties in making ends meet.
