while the current times are relatively peaceful, all it takes is one powder keg to explode and we'll be in the most violent war humanity as seen due to the fact that technology has made war much more devastating. It just takes one domino to fall.
Another source of potential huge conflict is domestic conflict in urban centers. Look at the shift of wealth to the top. Why do you think there is all of this urban control weaponry being developed? Why is everyone being monitored?
