Usually it isn't the increasing tensions that cause a revolution; it tends to be a event that crystallizes and becomes the beginning of a movement. Look at the history of revolutions and you will find they start with a simple event that just happens at the right time and it becomes the beginning of the movement. Look at the American revolution for example, with the tax on tea. It happened at the right time. Today we are taxed many many times more than we were taxed then, its just that no event has occurred to crystalize a desention event.

If you're thinking a war with guns and bombs. I don't think ever. Will there be a revolution in the future? Quite possible people can be fed up with the governments action and a change of government could be instated by the people. Just because a revolution happens does not necessarily mean there has to be gun fights.

Isn't that what the destruction of the middle class is doing, though? We're increasingly less able to consume the harder we're squeezed.

Honestly I think we're gonna have to go full 1984 before anybody leads an uprising.
