Thanks as always for your usual outstanding insights and complete commitment to honesty and transparency.
I wanted to share one thought I had as I was posting this article across my social media accounts. It occurred to me, you're the only one I've heard use the term "Inverted Totalitarianism." I must admit, I've preferred thinking about our government today as more of an oligarchy and/or a cog of Feudalism 2.0. I had no idea "Inverted Totalitarianism" was coined 21 years ago (thanks to the handy link you provided (amazingly from Wikipedia...guess the censors missed scrubbing that entry) to specifically refer to what's gone wrong with the US government today. After reading that definition from such a source, I thought it lent a lot of additional weight to not just the terminology, but also to exposing just how long our government has been corrupted. Therefore, I used that, new knowledge (for me), in an intro inviting people to read this article for more.
It seems to me if more people understood the origins of the term, the more effective our speech may be in helping awaken people to the dangers we face.

Thanks! Yes, i did a deep dive into the term in 2022 and didn't want to repeat myself.
