If there is a leader like Gandhi, the pushback may be mostly peaceful. If the pushback includes the armed forces, the government may be overturned simply on a General's say-so. But normally it is more expressive than that. Of course there are opportunists who join in for the sake of mayhem and pillage, but usually they are too few to start a riot of their own. Though widespread unemployed is a good start- we all know the saying about idle hands.
