Brazil had such an outburst in 2013, also seemingly spontaneous and enabled by social networks. Fast forward a few years and the president-elect is a far-right idiot who ran on a platform of conspiracy theories and attacks on the press, supported by a huge disinformation campaign on anonymous, encrypted and widely popular messengers, completely bypassing all forms of campaign accountability. Ignore the symptoms at your peril.
