It's not just modern life. It's a recurring theme throughout history where nobility, priests, kings or chieftains got a bit too greedy to refused to pay for upkeep and don't want to change the system until the system fell apart. It's the same for politicians and businesses.
Like it's said: “Gradually, then suddenly.” China invading Taiwan can be such a trigger for things to go suddenly but nobody can predict how things will go.
