This is my thought as well. We've reached a plateau where the average individual's circumstances are so comfortable that violent political action just doesn't make sense psychologically. The pie is so large that, even though we are getting a smaller and smaller slice compared to the elites, it doesn't trigger the type of primal response it did in the past.

Should we hope this continues? Probably. If the situation deteriorates to the point that revolution becomes palatable the result would be mass human suffering.
