I used to have a political systems professor that made us all write a paper on what influenced our "political ideologies"

The assignment was three pages and entailed an explanation of how your environment shaped the way you think about the different issues in politics. (divisive issues ofc)

I had a hard time putting my name on something that implied I am not the decision maker between what I learn to be factual and unfactual

In response, I wrote a 7 page paper on how the authors I've read were my "political socializing agents" because they taught me a lot of facts. Mainly having to do with the praxeological framework that humans respond to personal incentives.

I got a B on a paper that I actually put time and thought into, while my peers who glazed the professors perspective of "ideologies" got A- averaged.

People these days are so consumed by ideology that they will literally base their entire perception of you on just one picture.

That’s what ideology takes from you…The ability to free your mind and actually think outside of the box.
