It is the definition of insurgency. Portland, CHAZ, Chicago, etc are stage 3, taking territory. Fallujah, Sadr City, ISIS, etc were stage 3. Beirut is too right now.
I don't know which stages you're referring to, but as a matter of personal experience, Fallujah, Basra, ISIS's activity, Beirut both now and during the Lebonese Civil War are wholly different from what's going on in Seattle, Washington, and Chicago.
This isn't even really an insurgency, it's a counter-revolution.
Donald Trump et all, is effectively a Velvet Revolution ... (Orange Revolution ha ha ha)... against the Fabian Socialist establishment of the West. This means that while the attacks on the Federal Courthouse look like an insurgency... it isn't. It's a counter-revolutionary movement against a portion of the government that is genuinely against the modern establishment. NORMALLY the overthrow of the national government by revolutionary forces is the last part of a revolution, not the first. Our situation is slightly different from the norm.
Stage 1 is recruitment. Stage 2 is harassment attacks and organization. Stage 3 is holding territory. I don't remember if it was stages or levels or whatever, but it was a common term in COIN white papers.
I agree about it being backwards revolution day, but 99th generational regime change is uncharted territory.

I don't remember seeing that in my COIN manual, but w/e.

No it's not, it's just the collapse of an old order. The "changing of the elites". I think this is the collapse of the Fabian Socialist order in the same way that WW1 was the the collapse of the European Royalist Aristocracy.

It might be the collapse or a consolidation of power like WW2. The internet has made things weird.
