This post was made in the Misc category because it discusses something never tried and the world operates fine without any trials of it.

To be fair, this is the only thing I can think of when someone mentions "senatorialism". https://tse3-mm.cn.bing.net/th/id/OIP-C.dKj29vc7tMDptJj4uy2C8wHaDJ?pid=ImgDet&rs=1

Still don't know why I think of anything about it, and why anyone mentions it.

the belief in being senator-like.



....(so, for example,  cocaine fueled orgies are one way to be Senatorial, like a Senator.   Getting drunk and drowning some young piece of ass you've just picked up is traditionally quite Senatorial.  SENATORIALISM could well be "a belief in fucking drunk".)

It's just another word with ism stuck on the end of it.

Here's one.

Suffixism.

Ism is a suffix is a suffixism is an ism.

The oldest professions are prostitution and politics. Regardless of culture or ancient culture for that matter, you’ll find them together.

Prostitutionism

Politicism.

Add two more to the list.

Categorisationism as it were.

"politicism"

Do you have an idea how little that narrows it down?

What are you hoping to narrow down?

You know what a Senator is.

And you know what politics is.

And ism means, to behave accordingly, or in the manner of.

One often utilises ism as a means to sarcasm.
