No-one wants a conflict. There's no-one currently sitting in their basement planning the trigger for a civil war in 2038 except maybe a fiction writer.

Civil wars (or any war for that matter) have a tremendous build up before the main conflict starts. All kinds of smaller conflicts build up over time. Look at this:

Even if you leave out all the relatively minor occurrences of riots on universities and after sports matches, there's still a good 12 accounts of riots as a direct result of police brutality or government summits. That's almost 1 a year. That's a ridiculous number for what is supposed to be a first world country.
