The youth protests reflect a distrust of institutional politics and a desire not to be corrupted or co-opted by the state, which makes formal political engagement difficult. These protests follow in the spirit of “new social movements” in that they value articulating long-term utopian aspirations over achieving immediate, tangible, and limited goals. The change in youth attitudes and practices, particularly by conquering fear, has a substantial positive impact. In a holistic view of power, youth protests have revealed a proactive rather than a bullying force. On this foundation, and like earlier social movements, post-Arab Spring youth movements have broadened the scope of the possible. Three citizenship ideals—democracy, social justice, and dignity—are not only the foundation of the movement’s demands but also the guiding principles of their activist efforts.
