Interesting to note that the teens and young adults who overthrew the government elected their new prime minister on Discord, and the military acknowledged the election and put the winner in place.

confirmation that this is an organic protest

I am very skeptical of the movement, but what would a confirmation of its authenticity look like?

While we're at it, I think part of the problem with these very decentralized/spontaneous movements is that a genuine, organic one is completely indistinguishable from one that is infiltrated and manipulated by bad actors. Euromaidan is a perfect example: whatever organic grassroots support the movement had at first got transmuted into a fascist coup and the structure stayed the same so it never lost legitimacy in the eyes of Western media (well, maybe part of the problem is that Western media loves nazis)
