Ideology refers to a rigid set of beliefs and doctrines that back a certain institutionalized social construct. There is no thinking involved, there is only submission and acceptance. An ideology belongs to a particular group and it's adherents belong to the ideology. Thinking is the opposite. It is the open, individual, personal, philosophical and pragmatic attempt to understand life and circumstance as it is, and perhaps some principles that help govern beingness. Over these past few years I have challenged you to think for yourself but I have repeatedly failed to get you to free yourself from ideology even on a single instance. I originally thought there was hope because you claimed to be a philosopher of sorts. I have long abandoned that expectation. >>>What is the difference between an ideologue and a thinker?<<<
