The belief that every action or idea is caused by some "-ism" or "-phobia" in order to place blame on an individual or group. A scapegoat to deflect from the real conversation to portray the individual or group as morally inferior to silence them entirely. The act of artificially placing someone on a moral high ground, which commonly attracts sheep to defend that high ground without any thought.

The most common form of "-ism" is racism.
Common Examples of Ismism:

-"The child murderer who was sentenced to life in prison is clearly an example of institutionalized racism in the nation because he was black."
-"Not everything is because of racism, stop being an ismist."

"No I will not debate my beliefs with you, you clearly are a racist even though nothing you said was racist. I am just scared that my point of view will be challenged and put through a rational lense."

"Saying male and females are different is just transphobic, yes I know biology says that but biology is run by transphobes."

The echelon of intelligence where one has an IQ of less than 100. The morons who believe they are an expert in every subject and believe their opinion is more valid and/or unanimously shared among their peers. They believe that constantly calling something what they believe it is means that it objectively must be that thing. Jealousy, ignorance, or idiocy can be the root cause of this elite club.
