This is exactly correct.

They don't have a name yet for what this new "ism" is. It is unique, with so many factions all in on the game.

We can just call them Tyrants for simplicity's sake.

Well said and prior to the 1800s, they would have simply been called tyrants.

It's almost as if they created these "isms" to divide and confuse us.

Interesting to know how Pragmatism started as a proper Philosophy, widely promoteted by William James. The current usage of the term “pragmatic” is inverts the logic, but the meaning is close enough.
