The name of a victim becomes known.
Then, this name is shared to humanize the victim. But, quickly, the name itself is just used to signify.
Tweets like

appear.
Satiation has begun.
The name dehumanizes and becomes more of an idea.

The undertow of the internet pulls all ideas towards memefication.

The unfortunate part is that I believe people mean well.
I just think there should be more dialogue around the process through which a victim becomes an exploitable slogan.

Once the name has undergone symbolization, it can now become a vehicle for corporate interests.
For example, a company with discriminatory hiring practices and no diverse leadership, can now easily say, without blinking,

It’s complicated and, again, not trying to blame well-intentioned people.
But, we need to more slowly think about the reflex to take a picture of a person brutally murdered by the state.
And create a Miyazaki-esque abstraction of their image.

There is something already grammatically absurd about repeating any word over and over.
