whoever has the ability to name something within society, is the one who has power.

if you cannot name something you do no have power of it.

this could be seen as the philosophical interaction of judge holden and foucault.

if you are unable to name yourself, you are a slave
if someone is calling you a nazi or a terrorist, they are exercising a power over you

they are categorising you. they are defining you.

whatever is named, is owned.
judge holden in the cormac mcarthy once says in the book blood meridian

that “Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.”

in another scene the judge is seen as a man of science categorising birds, putting them in cages
when humans try to categorise things, they name them, they own them

a dog with no name, has no owners, the same was true of slaves and is true with modern humans

the science of naming and categorising is the ultimate pornography https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1180619871689826304?s=20
so when people are trying to categorise me and put me in a box and niche as to how they can relate to me, or they may even do it to others.

they are in a affect trying to turn me into an abstract tool that can be used and manipulated, like we do with modern "science"
so the greatest thing one can do for himself is asign himself his own name,

there is a freedom that comes with the cyber world, we are able to invent ourselves, give identities, cyber masks and gamer tags like gritcult.

funny how more ppl know me by gritcult than my meatspace
a parent can name a child, the child is part of the family they belong to it.

there is a similar phenomena i notice with modern society. there are a group of people extreme ideologists, who create terms, then categorise you within them

i do not give names to my radical ideas
it is better to have radical ideas and beliefs if you never name them.

once you name them, you make them real, and anything real is a threat.

so these new words such they/them, vegan, fascist, nonbinary, ithere is whole spectrum of them, they all are an exercise of power.
