Color revolutions:

English signs in a country where nobody speaks English.
Anglo media platforms those protests.
Anglo social media does nothing but talk about them.
Democracy^TM^
Leaders are all cutouts of some Western NGO.
Leaders speak perfect English.
Memes and symbols that come from the protests can always be perfectly translated into English with no cultural context lost.

There's also some dipshit French public intellectual^TM^ who always shows up right when a color revolution is about to commence, but I forgot the dude's name.
