Ideology. Like adopting a strict ideology and then refusing to hear anything from any other ideology. Like sometimes Capitalism is the solution, sometimes Socialism or Government intervention is the solution. Usually it's a mixture of both. But no we must divide strictly into our little boxes and demonize anything else.

And of course social political issues which are bound up into ideology no matter if it makes sense or not. Of course that is the wedge used to divide people while the powers that be fill their pockets. By all means let's all argue about who gets to use what bathroom while food becomes unaffordable and housing becomes a pipe dream.

Based entirely on your comment, I would say the issue isn't the concept of ideology, but the fact that the ideologies that matter the most and the ones that spread the fastest aren't the same. After all, the idea that no one should starve is itself an idealogy.

Or I guess maybe the ideology of balanced ideologies!
