But the argument is not openly 'I think this ideology is worthy of criticism but not that one for these reasons...'

It's 'You should just leave ideologies you don't like alone & respect ppls freedom of thought' for some whilst criticising others.

That's not so surprising given that "ideology" is a vague concept that can be selectively applied, including applying it to everything.

It's not surprising at all. But looseness of the term isn;t the reason for ppl being inconsistent on whether we shld criticise things. .

So now you've further abstracted from "ideologies" to "things". Of course ppl disagree about the ethics of criticizing different things.

Sets of ideas then. Systems of thought. And they should. My criticism is not of this. It's not admitting that's what they;re doing.

It's when they say 'Just don't ascribe to X belief system if you don't believe /like it!' but then criticise Y coz they don't believe/like

It appears inconsistent when you analyse it using your own classification of actions, but I'm sure it doesn't feel inconsistent to them.

Of course not. That's why I have to point out that it is. It's their own claim, not mine. 'If you don't like this ideology, leave it alone.'

But it really means 'I don't think you should criticise this ideology because I see different ones as more worthy of criticism'

But that is a valid argument. 'Why criticise ideologies?' isn't unless you genuinely mean that about all of them.
