Increasingly weak, violent and leaderless protests may be short-lived

10 Sept 11:16 Key points summarised by AI

Thai anti-establishment protests have resumed following a pause, but observers note a significant loss of momentum and reduced participant numbers compared to their peak.
The movement is increasingly fragmented and leaderless, with groups attempting more organic, democratic protest planning, which contributes to a lack of clear accountability for escalating violence.
Despite fewer protesters, incidents of violence are on the rise, prompting concerns about the movement's legitimacy among some experts, while others view it as a tactic to provoke authorities and regain support.
Experts predict the current protest wave may be short-lived, potentially shifting from street demonstrations to online methods due to severe legal charges and dwindling public support for their monarchy-focused agenda.
