I think it’s possible to use such an expression as shorthand for that one specific issue being emblematic of the kind of people/thoughts/values/etc responsible for more of society’s ills at large without literally meaning that one thing is the only thing that is wrong. It really depends on the context and the person using it, I guess.
Yeah, in theory I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as a term of phrase, I just think that in practice there are so many people saying it who I wouldn’t trust to pinpoint societal problems
