"Purebred" ideologies are basically all cancerous. The only way to contain them is to allow for a proliferation of mix 'n match rude crossbred mutt ideologies that reject ideological purity as an ideal even without knowing what the ideology is. Internal consistency = it is cancer

A purebred ideology is like being forced to use a single tech platform for everything. The way some companies are "microsoft shops" for example. "Running he world" is no more a meaningfully single, unified problem than "running the enterprise". It's not fundamental physics.

The more you can mix and match and come up with an unnamed cocktail of positions that don't necessarily fit together well, the more you'll be free to focus on actual problems. If it can be compressed into an axiomatic manifesto from which everything else can be derived, run.

Ignore their self-image as a connected thing. You don't have to "solve" their existence as a connected problem just because they think they're a connected entity/egregore. Bite off your piece. Let others bite off other pieces.

You invented eclecticism. History suggests that periods of eclectic cosmopolitan exchange and cultural innovation are followed by the emergence of an intolerant dominant paradigm - e.g. hellenic late antiquity getting pwnšt by Christianity. Market consolidation.
