        thanks to our ideology, discrimination based on gender, color, or anything is unheard of in Indonesia.

        That's nice, but without an ideology you'll just get bullied into doing what someone else's ideology wants. See: leftism/social justice ideology in silicon valley

        To put it another way: you may not be interested in ideology, but ideology is interested in you!
