The protestors are living evidence for the theories propounded by British documentary maker Adam Curtis. He believes that the chaos and complexity that engulfed Western society from the 1970s onwards killed the collective movements that drove humanity throughout the rest of the 20th Century. Faced with problems they couldn't understand or change, the middle class turned inwards to change themselves instead. Jogging, yoga, meditation, the gym involved turning in to the self, not out to society. You make yourself better, and this makes the world better...well for you anyway, and those like you. Thatcher and Reagan's policies confirmed these beliefs.
The wellness movement grew out of this. YOU are the most important being on the planet, and YOUR rights are sacrosanct - you the individual, not plural. That's why those protesting aren't particularly bothered if they march alongside thugs or Nazis; although a march is a collective they are standing for the rights of the INDIVIDUAL, and the individual is the centre of the universe.
