Ok, so the social movement thesis bandied about here has been that people are move apt to get pissed off and demonstrate about their anger during economically good times.

Does OWS contradict this?

Or do we go with McAdam's thesis in Freedom Summer? That people get pissed off when their expectations have been raised and then the politicians who've been elected to meet those expectations fail miserably at doing so.
