Person One - What's your ideology?
Person Two - I think human beings should share everything so that poverty could become obsolete.
Person Three - You communist!

Get the ideology mug.1)An ideology way of looking at an aspect of society, or to a certain extent anything, which makes it seem better than it actually is.
2) An assumption which for whatever reason exists, and is unfair and untested.
Some sociological thinkers would have you believe they exist to help maintain and cover up power inequalities.

1)The education system is completly fair and 100% a meritocracy - this is ideological.

Get the ideology mug.You people have it all wrong! The lesser-known definition/concept of ideology (favored by Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Hall etc.) is less about a "visible set of beliefs" and more about the internalization of how one perceives and interacts with their reality. Though somewhat indirectly related, it generally has nothing to do with politics and economic policies.
Ideology is everything under the hood, everything you take for granted without consciously realizing it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that language is an ideology, since it follows a set of grammatical rules that we have to take for granted in order to communicate.
It would also be safe to say that love is an ideology, as loving someone does not take any conscious reasoning. Love is so deep-seated in us that we treat love as an unstoppable force, and not as simply as chemical fluctuations in the brain and body.
Really, anything could be seen as an ideology if we start deconstructing the very foundations of reality.

Me, an intellectual: Man... thinking back, university were the good days, really learned a lot there.
Typical hate-mongering political zealot: Yeah... good days when you were indoctrinated with leftist ideology garbage!
Me, an intellectual: Heh, ideology. You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Get the Ideology mug.Ideology assumes that egoism is a vector. This is incorrect as egoism is a hyper-state.
Ideology functions on the foundation of messianism or superfrequentism; and even assumes messianism explicitly.

Get the ideology mug.Woke people that are pushing their agendas onto minorities thinking they are helping people.
Really they are marginalizing and oppressing minorities further by constantly telling them the world is out to get them and they should be fearful of systemic issues.
Subsequently when the minorities desperately need to trust authorities and the health system they are fearful and end up loosing out.

Example: Saying for years the health system has systemic racism and minorities shouldn't trust it, then wondering why the minorities won't get vaccinated against Covid. Or even worse reinforcing the fears by saying minorities are right to be skeptical when the Ideology Missionary themselves are vacinnated.
Gosh even calling people minorities is oppresive in it's self and indicates a group is unable to achieve anything without their Ideology Missionary saviors.

Get the Ideology Missionary mug.A critical metascientific framework that examines the ideological dimensions of science—the systems of belief, value, and meaning that are embedded in scientific practice and that shape how science is understood and mobilized. The ideology of science includes the belief that science is value-free and objective (which itself is an ideological position), the assumption that scientific progress is inherently good, the faith that scientific methods can solve all problems (scientism), the narrative of science as the triumph of reason over superstition, and the use of scientific authority to legitimize political and economic arrangements. It also includes the ways scientific concepts (evolution, competition, efficiency) are mobilized to support particular worldviews, and the ways scientific institutions reproduce existing social hierarchies. Examining the ideology of science reveals that science is never just science—it always carries ideological content, whether acknowledged or not, and understanding science requires understanding how ideology operates within it.
Example: "His ideology of science analysis showed how 'survival of the fittest' moved from biology to economics—not because the concept traveled cleanly, but because it served ideological purposes, legitimizing competition and inequality as 'natural.'"

Get the Ideology of Science mug.Tea potty ideology describes the nonsensical extreme and ludicrous positions of the Tea Party aka Tea Baggers such as the repeal of the Amendments 14, 16, and 17 to the US Constitution or arguments that the Consitution does not contain a Separation of Church and State. These feckless leaders are intent on leading the Country into an Idiocracy. Though the movement truly lacks any coherent or unified positions on anything, and much of what they say is not well thought out and is entirely inconsistent, to the extent that there is common ground amongst this diverse group of angry lunatics, this phrase summarizes what they stand for because for the most part it is utter bullshit and should be flushed down the toilet!
The Tea Bagger Candidate for US Senate in Delaware opined and stated her Tea Potty ideology that there is no Separation of Church and State.
