Just to clarify - the source is using "geometric" here in its sense of a growth rate not in its sense of Geometry. So I'm suggesting translating as something like "popular discontent rising at increasing rates can be represented mathematically as a geometric progression".

We'd also say "exponentially" but that's less formal.

"Geometric pattern of change" is obviously literally correct, but IMHO a rewording is mathematically better.
