Get the ismism mug.The belief that every action or idea is caused by some "-ism" or "-phobia" in order to place blame on an individual or group.

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."

Get the ismistarian mug.An istist is someone who believes in istism, the ideology of accusing (often wrongfully) someone/something the istist disagrees with of promoting some extremist ideology without even knowing what that ideology stands for. Istism is not a political ideology as anyone no matter where they are located on the political compass can believe in istism if they are dumb enough but the manifestation of their symptoms does depend on the person's political opinion.
Example one:
person: Wear a mask when going outside. (talking about the sars-cov-2 pandemic)
istist: Masks are COMMUNISM!
Example two:
person: I'm ok with the peaceful protests, but the violent riots and lootings that have taken place I just don't feel good about them. (talking about the protests following George Floid's tragic death)
istist: You're a NAZI!
