      It’s not the ‘-isms’, my guy.

      It’s people. Flawed beings making and interacting with flawed systems.

        It takes people to enact policies around the -isms and to make the -isms themselves, so I dont really see the logic here.

          The OP said “…-ism is the real cancer upon society”. I was pointing out that people are the real cancer of society. It doesn’t matter what “-ism” you want to stand behind, there will always be issues because humanity is fundamentally broken.

            I’d argue that humanity and an -ism aren’t that different in this context – arbitrary linguistic form aside, they both refer to abstract collectives.

            But ultimately, I still don’t see the logic in separating humanity from the systems it created and uses. Fixing one fixes the other, in bilateral fashion.
