the sudden emergence of massive millenarian cults has long been a hallmark of empires whose waning power and failing infrastructure are no longer able to address the day-to-day needs of their citizens

I have no idea what you're talking about. Millenarian cults are literally always in style. They were popular in the late 1800s, in the 1960s, and now that I think of it, there was a millenarian cult that popped up around 31AD, and the roman empire would go on for centuries after.
