You're on the right track but omitting a crucial element that comes before crumbling failure.

Tactical control and an embedded influence that ensures that "failure" never manifests in the way that it has for civilizations past.

"They" pivot. From keyboards to motorbikes. Nuclear power plants to...'sex toys'.

Pivot in such a way you can't really point a finger at who's to blame and before you've got a handle on it they've spun around into something else again.

yeah the everchanging nature is hard to keep up with, it always mutates, their failure will hurt many innocents around them, not sure what you mean about the sextoys and motorbikes tho, are there neo fascist sextoys and bikes brand i don't know about ?

I think they're alluding to Yamaha and Hitachi, which both made machinery for the Japanese Military in WWII.
