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.
They're trying to consolidate to hold power, but that's what's causing them to collapse. Whenever an authoritarian seeks to maintain power, they crush dissent and close ranks. Eventually this turns into a purity spiral where there's too much dissent to crush, and not enough people to close ranks. Then the whole thing collapses in a cascade failure.

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