ideological eclipsing

1. Where dominant or widely accepted perspectives suppress and take precedence over alternative or radical views, thereby obscuring and strawmanning their presence and influence.

2. The phenomenon wherein prevailing or dominant beliefs, values, or ideologies overshadow, suppress, or marginalize alternative or radical perspectives. The process can be both intentional, as a means to maintain the status quo, or unintentional, stemming from deep-rooted biases or cultural norms.
If it is in the curriculum, it’s already subject to ideological eclipsing. Academia has always been and will always continue to be central to collective brainwashing.

The only reason Rumi is popular is because they tried to quiet Shamze Tabriz; this phenomenon is the history of academia.

Ideological Robot

A person with little to no understanding of philosophical concepts apart from their own. They regurgitate the same arguments, slogans and idioms that their ideology practices without evidence or reason for those arguments. They are captivated by an ideology to the point of being unable to understand opposing views and regularly strawman them. Their viewpoints are often narrow and completely conformant to their ideology. This may be attributable to their participation in echo chambers or unwillingness to challenge their presuppositions. They are namely a robot due to the fact the exact same talking points and ideas are stated in the same exact way with same exact mistakes continually by multiple people.
Using communism as an example, although it is a bipartisan phenomenonm

A: "Muh It wasn't true communism"
B: "Another ideological robot right from the factory"
Note: A is repeating a tired talking point that fails to understand how communism is put into practice. Rather, dismissing anything apart from a utopian definition as false.

Ideological Science

A term with three interrelated meanings. First, the science of ideology: the study of how ideologies form, function, and reproduce, using scientific methods (e.g., political psychology, sociology of knowledge). Second, the ideology of science: the set of beliefs about science itself—that it is value‑free, that it progresses inevitably, that it is the only reliable path to truth—which functions as an ideology even when science is practiced well. Third, science as ideology: when scientific claims, methods, or institutions are used not as tools of inquiry but as weapons to legitimize power, exclude dissent, or naturalize social hierarchies. In this sense, science becomes indistinguishable from other ideologies, demanding belief rather than investigation.
Example: “When he said ‘science says’ and refused to discuss methodology, he was practicing ideological science—using the authority of science to end debate rather than to open inquiry.”
