Ideology has been on my mind lately.

There are very vocal groups in the states that are very ideological in their arguments. Ideologies seem to pre-suppose some utopia: "If only this and that and this, then everything would be fine."

Ideological arguments don't seem to be able to say, "Right now is point A. Point B is where we want to be. How de we get from A to B?"

They only seem to be able to say, "If only things were like this, then you would see that things would be going just fine," with no regard whatsoever of practical realities.

Here is Jordan Peterson speaking of ideology:

It is ironic that the alt-right in the States have cited him often enough, when in looking at the breadth of his statements, he seems to be more anti-authoritarian in all of its manifestations.
