Ideologies have become the scam of democracies today. Originally, ideologies were synthetic responses to guild interests, primarily labor and economic concerns. Today, they are merely emotional and neurotic slogans. Sometimes, they are even psychotic imperatives.
Their purpose is not to solve problems but to preserve conflict and division, to deny shared experience.
Every ideology secretly harbors, covertly and, of course, obscurely, objectives that are contrary to the interests of the majority of the population—the very population that, ignorant of this, adheres to the promotion of these deceptive, restrictive ideologies.
Fear, lies, and guilt are part of the massive media spectacle. The magnetism of the abyss, that is, the greatest paradox of democracies: managing the emotional discord of the population through ideologies.
