If you are a landless urban pleb without good social connections, publicly committing to an ideology is the only way to access patronage.
I get it now: Excess ideology is a sign that a person needs excess ideology to commit to something, eg that it's not their normal, default state. In a society that requires/"rewards" natural slaves, even someone whose ideology extols the virtues of slavery is defective property.

Pseudo-ideology. Real ideologies, the kind that are logically consistent and require thought, accomplish the opposite aim. There's a difference between memorizing dumb slogans like "If you don't like it, you can leave" and reading thousands of pages of books in search of truth.
