As per Ezri in a recent Mortal Science episode, a satanic inversion is the
phenomenon of taking something that's generally regarded as "bad" and making it
good. An example is a certain strain of [[file:20210124202830-anti_americanism.org][Anti-Americanism]], which takes [[file:20210124202852-american_exceptionalism.org][American
Exceptionalism]] as a given and reframes it as what's fundamentally wrong with the
United States.
