Aside from the pop culture type stuff (which I'm blissfully ignorant of), I think you're pretty close to the mark. However, the folks who are protesting seem to be clueless to the way the world works. They're protesting unchecked exploitation, when they can't even exploit their own cause. If they were at home or at work, they could find any number of things to spew about online - out in the field though, they're worthless. Given enough time, some of them might actually take a vote, and find out what exactly they are fighting for.
A difficult task, considering how Machiavellian our stupid way of life has become here in the States. Try not to dwell on our soon-to-be-tits-up country... the sun is surely falling in the West.
