There are two ways in which categorization becomes categorism. The one called "abstractions of categorism" is the one where the categorization itself is the problem. This is when facets of categorism are applied to how we divide people into categories. (The other one is when the applications of facets of categorism is focused on a certain categorization of people, a categorization which in itself may or may not be reasonable.)
- Categorist Co-definitions: Merging two group in a categorist way. Such as "Guilt By Association" and "Association By Guilt"
- Categorist Distinctions: Dividing a group in a categorist way. Such as to deny them their rights or make their problems invisible.
- Equivocations: Different concepts magically becomes the same thing through using the same term for them.
- Incomprehensibilization of the categorization: Who need to have comprehensible definitions anyway?
- Categorization by Narrativism: The truth is whatever fits the story.
- Dichotomism: Rigid division into categories.
- Zero-category: A core category is excluded from categorization.
- Loosely defined Abyss-category: The ultimate "other" needs no coherent definition.
- Categorization by emotional bias: Including or excluding from a category, based on attitudes.
- Termism: Such as the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.
