Abstract: Gen Z drew tactical understanding from veteran activists from the 1988 and 2007 uprisings as well as from social movement theory and tactics encountered through the Internet and in the university setting. Over time the movement increasingly drew connections with other anti-authoritarian protest movements and alliances such as the Milk Tea Alliance, protests in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s Sunflower protests, and the rolling anti-authoritarian Spring Revolutions that began with the Arab Spring in 2010.
