ismism

The notion that people in or aiming for positions of power suffix words with 'ism' in order to confuse the public and give the impression that they are in the know and the public aren't.

'Do you think paleoliberalism is superior to Hoxhaism? Oh, you wouldn't understand Eurocommunism. You're probably just an individualist follower of revisionist Zionism.'

'I think you're using ismism to look down on me.'

'Are you really accusing me of feminist egoism?'

ismism

Ismism is the tendency to put a label on other people that is loaded with one's own prejudices and definitions, thereby attempting to limit others' perceptions of them.

If you can get an opponent to admit to being an ist, you've trapped that person into your definition of who they are.

An ism doesn't necessarily end in the letters -ism. For example, the word "woke" as as many meetings as there are people, in some countries and locations.

Some believe it is important not to label yourself or others lest significant misunderstandings ensue.

"You're a conservative/ liberal? In that case I know everything about you. You bastard."

"I don't believe in ismism. It's better to understand people by what they do and express rather than what you label them to be.
