I'm not a doomer but the US it outlasting us. The Russian empire had almost a century of peasant rebellions before the USSR. China had longer. We're not even close.
Yup, those are factors that make it harder. A society that is not used to rebellion isn't going to do a big one like that. Not without smaller ones preceding it, normalizing it. I don't know how we get there. Maybe summer of 2020 was a step to it. Maybe Rodney King was an earlier step.
As much as it was an incoherent fuster cluck, Jan 6 was maybe one of those dates too. The difference being that once they caught the car they didn't know what to do because they don't have any coherent political project or goals.
Pretty sure that isn't going to change anytime soon either, the types of chuds that are organizing and training are just doing so to murder minorities, not design new systems of power.
Never the less, it's another symptom of people feeling the squeeze of conditions... and the chuds are restless.

To be fair technology (particularly communications technology) is far more advanced and people are way more urbanized

Not without members of it becoming the organisers of followups.

What's different now is climate change imo.
