in ME read a book by and American(?) author telling them how to use non-violent actions to take on their governments. The world watches their revolutions with awe. London students protest raises in student fees with non-violent action. Unions in Wisconsin stand up for their rights with similar non-violent action. Anonymous begins actions using the internet. And now we have the occupy movement world-wide.

And I agree that it all may be stemming from a survival instinct that is telling us now or never.
