;Tip: Anytime an author uses a word ending in "ism" it means "you're too stupid to understand, and I don't have time to explain all the nuances and popular prejudices, so I thumbnailed with "ism".

:Case in point; in Western literature we encounter "Judaism"; but how often do you see "Christianism"? 17:38, October 5, 2023 (EDT)

:"ism is a phenomena of language, it draws on popular assumptions within society without the author or speaking having to provide evidence, or details, or even his own thoughts on the matter. It's like a Page Redirect. When abused, and it frequently is, it is a tool of [[demogugue]]s. Like Hitler railing against Marxism, socialism, and Judaism. He's not adding anything specific, he's just drawing on popular prejudices and assumptions in the hearer's mind.
:Fo this reason, as content creators, we need to be aware of some of these basic structures in our own English language. And should be leery about excessive, or misuse, of too many "isms" (it can be defined as an appeal to prejudice), and in particular when defining one ism by referencing another ism (two negatives do not make a positive).

Just to clarify. I hope I didn’t sound as if I refuted that particular case. In that specific case, one of the sins of the generation of the flood was indeed that <small>as stated in Midrash [Vayikra Raba 23] (and that they used to 'certify' it).</small> asides fromm other sins. (I just added a general rule besides that).[[User:Telling|Telling]] ([[User talk:Telling|talk]])
