The **ismist.

This is ism-era; let’s call it the age of ismisms.  Too, too many to count such as socialism, communism, capitalism, atheism, progressivism, reformationism, Catholicism, patriotism, classicism, actualism, activism, rationalism, positivism, agnosticism, and thousands more.  Are you an ismist?  You must, if only to keep current with your group membership. You say, “no sir, not for me,” I believe in individualism. There you are, an ismist. No escape.

Every ism is a container of characteristics. On the celestial shelf reserved for humanity, we find countless such containers.  Thus, containerism.

In fact our entire society is dense with –isms.  They even come in combinations.  How about the progressive atheism? Or capitalistic socialism and its severe cousin fascism?  Or pseudo-dualism? Are you one of those?  Perhaps you are a follower of antidisestablishmentarianism?  This is the nature of our modern characteristicism society – all to be fit or crammed into a slot, double slot, or worse.  Once there, you are stuck with attributions you may neither accept nor understand.  

Once you identify, you are known, condemned perhaps by some, applauded by others, and no doubt confused by many more.

There you have it. I am a fervent ismismist, though not sure which one, however favoring optimism with overtones of skepticism, naturally hoping to be called a realism-ist.

Yep, I'm a optism-skepticism-realism-ist.  So confused I must be.
