- Appropriation
- Ownership is pollution
- War follows the same logic
- Ownership is never neutral
- There is no “pure” alternative
- Cleanliness is an illusion → What appears “pure” or “orderly” is often just what has been successfully claimed.

The Contaminated Claim
- Original meaning of pollution → Initially tied to religious and bodily defilement, such as desecrating sacred spaces or "pollution" through masturbation.
- Purity as an obsession → Cleanliness became linked to morality, sexuality, and aesthetics, reinforcing strict societal norms.
- Pasolini’s critique → He saw the hypocrisy in society's treatment of sexuality—both suppressed and commercialized as a tool of control.
