The term "Arab Spring" goes only as far as that of mere poetic neologisms, a phenomena perpetuated by a media which it itself resides in self-delusional psychosis, with 'Arab Spring' merely a facade like some highway poster receding in the rear-view mirror as image of itself. There is nothing else because there is nothing else but a political abyss to otherwise maintain its political momentum beyond the chaos that projects the sense of public self-flagellation as something meaningful, that which lacks the cohesiveness present in genuine political movements.
The 'Arab Spring' is simply an inanimate reaction, a pavolvian spasm of public rage, civil disobedience akin to a chemical explosion or meteorological phenomena, a Level 5 Tornadic spasm, all Sturm Und Drang as an unfocused expression of public rage that once exhausted remains non-existent.
It is the real life inability of a primitive, un-evolved, unsophisticated culture mired in the distant past, a standard of living absent off the oil revenues is constituted by annual UN report as being that of fourth world standard of living with a 2% literacy rate, bereft of the innovation, technological impetus that drives the modern world further along into the future ,weighed down under ever increasing burdensome way of life, in their ever increasing struggle to overcome the very limitations of their own godforsaken destiny.
bttt excellent analysis.
