Ismism

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."

"Yes, air-conditioning is a result of white supremacy."

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