Fucking FBPE wankers

How many popular uprisings that happened in 2019 can we recall by this late stage of the year?

The uprisings in Iran, Iraq, and Hong Kong are still happening. There was the anti-Maduro uprising in Venezuela. The Yellow Vest demonstrations in France were big enough to qualify as a mini-uprising. Bolivia's reaction to Morales stepping aside is hard to read atm, but probably qualifies.

What else we got? I know there were others. Just having demonstrators out on the streets doesn't seem like enough to merit inclusion as an "uprising". Seems like it has to have a deeply disruptive national impact before it registers..

R Solnit had a comment about this today.

So currently insurgencies, uprisings, rebellions and riots in, I think, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Spain, some Brexit and climate upheaval in the UK, quite a bit of fierce protesting in Russia earlier this fall, a yellow vest anniversary in France, and what am I leaving out? Okay, Zimbabwe and Nigeria, from comments below, and it looks like Ethiopia and South Africa and Guinea. Haiti.

I'd demote Brexit to general unrest, not a popular uprising. Same with climate change demonstrations; even though they can be quite large, they are usually well-behaved and not very disruptive.
