What is an ideologue?

discuss

order

gonational|4 years ago

Somebody who is dogmatically following an ideology; think of an ideologue as somebody who is running an abstract program in place of their normal ability to think about information using the principles they have naturally acquired through their life experiences.

Having ideas that map 1:1 to those of an ideology does not intrinsically make you an ideologue. Forming those ideas, based on conformity to an ideology that you have subscribed to, does.

This matches 'red scare' quite nicely and might give you some food for further thought.
