Ideolot

Someone who peddles simplistic, often harmful ideologies while lacking the brains to think critically about them. They mistake loud opinions for intelligent thought and are incapable of acknowledging a world beyond their narrow viewpoints.

A person so obsessed with their favorite ideology that it melts their brain into mush. They are the ultimate "my way or the highway" thinkers, and reason is their nemesis. Beware: ideolots are highly contagious.

That person who turns every conversation into a debate, not because they're interested in different ideas, but solely to dominate with their pre-packaged beliefs. Their goal isn't understanding, it's conversion.

Social media comment sections are breeding grounds for ideolots, where nuanced discussions go to die.

Ideolots like Jordan Peterson bury their simplistic ideas in a word salad of jargon.
