The Great Thing About Ideology

“You know what the great thing is about ideology?”
“No. What?”
“You can just make it up.”
“Oh. So it doesn’t have to have any connection with reality?”
“No. Just look at the word: Ideology. Idea-ology. It’s just ideas, thoughts in someone’s head. And then you try to get other people to believe in these thoughts as well. And then after a while if you’ve been pretty successful and there’s enough of you, you can then start trying to force people to believe in them.”
“The ideas?”
“Yeah.”
