What did the Arab spring give the people in the end?

Syria? never ending civil war between factions controlled by foreign interests
Lybia? never ending civil war between factions controlled by foreign interests
Tunesia? temporary improvements now to be revoked by a new authoritarian
Egypt? temporary improvements followed by an US backed coup installing an even worse military dictator

Maybe we were just naive in thinking that social media back then wasn't already doing the bidding of governments against people.

It gave women significantly more rights than they had before, but we all know that shit doesn't matter apparently.
