there are many, sometimes conflicting definitions. this one sums it up.

i focus on the police state and militarism part of it because thats what the NSA is for.

and if it ticks all the damn boxes, thats wtf it is. your phd person on tiktok is probably referring to the 12 early signs. its been ticking them for decades now.

but please don't rely on tiktok to get informed and read up on it, regardless of what qualifications tiktokers claim to have. its slop that barely clears the basics at best.
