Capitis diminutio maxima
Traces back to Roman civil law, where one's social status (civil liberties) are so degraded they resemble those of a pariah, enemy combatant, or slave.
According to internet Conspiracy Theory, it also refers to the capitalization of one's name on their birth certificate, license, bank account, etc.. as a result of one's Social Security Number which locks one into a lifetime of debt (slavery) to the matrix. The capitalized name represents one's fictional legal/corporate identity.
Why else would They completely capitalize your name on everything "official" and "legal"?
