Yes, but the case being referenced involved what it means to invoke your fifth amendment rights.
Is remaining silent invoking the right, or do you have to state “I am invoking the right to remain silent”, or some other statement?
Per the supreme Court, you can’t passively invoke the right and can only do so actively. So simply not answering a question isn’t invoking the fifth amendment and could be used against you.
That seems fucking stupid as hell, why do you need to “invoke” any right at all? And why would there be a requirement to access this right that most people wouldn’t know
You’re talking about a country where “I want a lawyer, dawg” is not sufficient to be provided a lawyer, because the cops can reasonably think that you want a dog that’s a lawyer. The legal system in the US is beyond saving.

Please tell me this isn’t true. Lie to me if required. I can’t handle any more America. This may be the metaphorical straw

Da fuck?
Maybe you should just always say that you did it. Everything else is not worth the effort. The system is fucked and Americans too
