Things got pretty bad during the Vietnam war. There is a reason why the draft was abolished.

Wasn't that because of the draft, though? That counts as "major" since you're being shipped off to be killed. But how likely is a new Vietnam? US involvement in wars doesn't require a draft anymore...

My point, inequality itself is rarely the trigger. It needs to pass a limit, usually threatening livelihood. And it needs to be super widespread (think 20%+ of the population).
