Good point

The other factors I see that are similar are:

1) heavy central authority and regulation

2) Satellite countries (states) reasserting their authority/power.

3) and individual/ leader (Lech) widely known who won’t give up no matter the cost.

Anything else your eyes see that might encourage us?
