Anyone have links to biographies of contemporary leaders of protests/direct action politics? I don’t have a clear mental model of the “career path” of such people for want of a better term. Where do they come from? Where do they learn their skills? Where do they form beliefs?

Really? Look across the pond to France. The Yellow Vest Movement is not about a fuel tax, dude, and it's not about racism either. This is pent up frustration about racism and police brutality, but it is also rage at corrupt gov't and profiteers.

During my homeless time when I was at protests and riots I noticed one character. He was smart and a charmer. Capitalism can only offer sales jobs to that kind of guy. Shirt and tie was too much for him, so he was a charity fundraiser for a while. I met him in a squat tho ... 1/2

And as an activist his skills really shone. He could help galvanise the random rabble and also get girlfriends. Felt like a good cause (it probably was) Perfect really. I remember thinking society was missing a trick by not harnessing his energy very well.
