Very well put. I like the Rupert Read quote, which is taken almost word for word from Adam Curtis' Traumazone documentaries, though there it is used in reference to communism:

"The first stage of the collapse is when you realise it's not working, the second stage is when you realise everyone else knows it's not working too"

They are worth a watch as I found them highly instructive of what a paradigm shift unfolding looks like https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0d3hwl1/russia-19851999-traumazone (spoiler - it doesn't look like our current times)
