Had been pondering "..isms" for a while .. racism, capitalism, terrorism, socialism, feminism .. birthism etc.(contributionism?) - but hadn't really clarified it into some sort of shortish comment. Still haven't, but this shortish video sums up a few things .. and is a foundation for further thought.
capitalism;

which sort of looks at 'terrorism'.
Hang about, this post will be edited and sort of refined(?) - or not. Felt the need to post it now (thanks for link, Link)

scheiss, how long is the list of "isms"?
I have seen this video before, and I agree completely.
schisms
prisims ..
Ow about Orgasism or ism
that a proper word?
This is one "ism" list, and believe it or not, it's got the word "humanism" ---
um, methinks 'organism' is a 'proper' word .. which could, perhaps, drift toward orgasism ..
Thanks for the list, Amias .. but "-ism" can be applied to any word, and renders it meaningless.
Thanks for the link to that video, Davo. I'm going to borrow it.
Also, I wasn't being facetious about your father,ok?
What about antiismism?
No need to thank me, Gerry, apparently the video is viral - any can catch it.
mm, antiismism? almost as good as antidisestablishmentarianism.
Davo...
No no no no no..
Antidisestablismentarianism is an ism.
Whereas antiismism is opposed to isms.
And it's shorter.
DO try to pay attention...
OK Gerry, no need to repeat yourself .. much as it pains me to admit it .. you are correct.
Antiismism is a better word, since on further thought 'antidisestablishment arianism" actually ends up supporting the "establishment" .. and that we cannot have..?
