I don't know who needs to hear this, but these are 14 hallmarks of totalitarianism:

1. Dissent is branded evil 2. Political differences are not tolerated 3. Mass conformity of behaviors & beliefs

4. Large scale, semi-organized violence is permitted. 5. Power is exerted to prevent the rise of dissent. 6. Power is concentrated in a handful of people and institutions.

7. Whole classes of people are scapegoated or singled out for persecution 8. Public opinion is turned against internal enemies 9. Extra-legal police action against internal enemies is condoned

10. Police punish inconsistently and outside the limits of the law 11. Unpredictable and harsh enforcement used against enemies of state 12. Language of constitution continues to be used while serving as facade for exercise of power

13. Non-conformity of opinion is treated as a threat to the state. 14. State police and other tools of compulsion (financial, legal) are used to enforce adherence to state orthodoxy.

"If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable. If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique. If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic. If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else. It’s drowning “you” out."
