“Revolution of Dignity” is such an incredibly jingoistic phrase. I can’t decide if it came out of some neolib focus group or just a room full of fascists.

found some research about this, it was literally the nazi party of Ukraine that popularized the phrase
I swear that name didn’t even come around until years afterward, that it was just called the Maidan or Euromaidan Revolution for a long time. But I don’t really know, maybe I missed it.
I’ve literally never heard it called that before this thread. I found one article calling it that a year later, then a bunch of “5 years later on retrospective” type articles and no source for who coined the phrase
I dug in a bit more because it was driving me crazy, turns out it was coined in some speech by a Ukrainian politician around when it happend, but like no one called it that for years.

Maybe the propagandists learned their lesson after they hyped up the Arab Spring and that whole thing brought nothing but misery.
