Yes, just like guns don't kill people, people do. Especially people who believe in -isms. People justify their actions with -isms and theses and society often accepts those justifications. You can always say the -ism isn't to blame, because the person would have probably found another suitable -ism to justify their actions anyway.

Most politicians will flip-flop on any stance if their constituents demand it.
