WOW. They have nothing left to protest except each other.
Every organisation faces the problem that the bottom people want to be on top, and the top people want to stay on top.
Mature (in the sense of grown up, rather than intelligent) organisations like the military, governments, large corporations and so on have distinct structures, with ranks and career paths - so the ambitious are given direction.
Absent a structure and opportunities for advancement, ambitious individuals will seek advancement in other ways, such as by undermining the current organisation and forming their own sub-organisation - which process repeats until the entire thing falls apart.
In some cases the ambitious individual can simply seek another organisation. Your career is stuck at Apple and you move to Microsoft, or whatever. But to do so you must have transferable skills. Which these people don't. And so they stay and fuck it all up for the rest.
