Thoughts on this? There is really not much proof that the movement exists other than social media posts, which is not really trustable to gauge these things.

The problem with petty bourgeois activism of this kind is that it is almost always entirely ineffectual unless it receives real material and organizational support from the outside, i.e. as in the case of the archetypical color revolution playbook, with entire NGO networks and tons of cash to pay people to go and stay in the streets for days and days (most people need to work and can’t afford to do this unless someone pays them), pay for professionally printed banners and signs, etc.
Even online activism needs a certain amount of material support to produce professional propaganda designed to maximize psychological impact, pay for bot networks to distribute it and so on.
Without that kind of support this is just virtue signaling that inevitably fizzles out because there are no resources or organization behind it.
Well they claim to have members among the security institutions so we’ll see if it’s just a bluff or not in the coming months.
Probably a bluff, I don’t imagine someone like gaddafi in the saudi officer class but that could be my lack of imagination.
