Grasitism (noun) — The ideological subsumption of particular persons, events, experiences, or evidence into a totalizing interpretive framework, whereby their independent meanings, conflicting testimonies or evidences and distinguishing characteristics are consumed in the service of affirming a framework, rather than allowing the theory to be conflicted.
Grasitism (noun, ism), Grasitize (verb), Grasite (demonym, derogatory)
The
word derives from the Sanskrit
word 'gras' (ग्रस्), or “to swallow,” “to devour,” “to eat up,” or “to consume.” It connects to a counterfactual allegory in which Garuda, in the
Hindu Mahābhārata, chooses to drink the
nectar of immortality instead of returning it and freeing his
mother, Vinata. Because Garuda, in his tale, is rewarded for his efforts by being made Vishnu'
s mount, the conceptual theory supposes that, by drinking the
nectar (to 'grasate' it), 'the mount chooses to fly itself,' thus establishing the metaphor of 'a consuming narrative that ignores all reason to fly without a rider at the
top of it.' Garuda is portrayed in the Mahābhārata as a hero, but an ever-
hungry one that eats many people, and a hero without honesty and commitment to the
truth to guide them is not a hero and is just a cannibal, meaning that a grasite is an all-consuming cause without honesty.
I can'
t stand the anti-immigrant grasitism, claiming that they'
re all criminals while every evidence says otherwise.
His theory ignores the facts! What a grasite!
The billionaires own
everything! Meanwhile all their
money is in stocks, meaning that their billions of wealth is given away to millions of people, and the billions are just market estimates of the stock. But some people grasitize these facts to assert that there is problem with people simply being wealthy and not what they chose to do with that wealth.
