"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.

Freedom of association -> obligation to associate? Just wanna understand. Sounds cool.

I think it preserves freedom of association. It’s a change of paradigm in which criticism regardless if good or bad, gets well received and worthy of recognition while not talking about something gets discouraged. The problem is that incentives are already placed.

ok, I’ll play Phil101 on this. what about the ideologies that are against (hyper)pluralism, that hate all the other ideologies, that are xenophobic, fascistic, warmongering death cults with belief in whatever (ideological) god~ or just plain ol’ suicidal denial of climate change?

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.

I'm not opposed, but is that really going to be sufficiently stronger? My suspicion is you'll need more than that.
