Good to mention Taibbi, you and he are two of my favorite authors. I can imagine a collaboration with your depth of historical perspective and his unique turn of phrase, culminating in the defining tome of our age and shining a light on the shadows that continue to stay hidden to the masses...
Funny thing is that we worked abroad in the same city for several years without knowing each other - yet we witnessed the same cultural evolution: Russia of the early 2000s.
Here's an example. The Chinese comedy movie Crazy Alien was hilarious and funnier than any thing coming out of the US. But it made the US look incompetent and foolish - along with everyone else in the movie BTW - because that's what a comedy does. Not violent or evil, but just foolish. Can't have that, so the movie had to be disappeared. So a big protest over one incident over alleged animal psychological cruelty was started to discredit the film. Result - it was taken down everywhere on the internet.
Seems the propagandists are using all the new modern tools - woke, BGT?+, the planet, animals, etc to smear their enemies. I'm sure they invented the tools. The hypocrisy and unequal application - chosen are innocent and targets are guilty - is boggling to anyone with an unbiased viewpoint.

Fertile ground for understanding our current kleptocracy, it explains a lot...
