I think we're closer to it than we have been since the end of the 1800's, but no, I don't think we're as close as many think we are.

The thing about this is the spark could be anything. Use George Floyd for example. There have been many instances of law enforcement going over the top caught on film. Why did the Floyd tape generate a response previously unseen in recent history? It was certainly egregious, but no more, or less, than some other examples. Point being is that you never know exactly what will be the spark that ignites the powder keg. That being the case being closer to this outcome than we have been in over a hundred years should generate healthy concern, even if the possibility of it actually kicking off isn't great.
