Ideology as it was used traditionally is too rigid and superfluous in modern day contexts, in my opinion. I think ideology was a necessary guide used in the early 20th century because of the void left by the fall of monarchic aristocracies and the birth of the literate and educated majority. They were a rallying point and a way people could navigate the new world that had taken shape. A way to make sense of the world where the center of authority was no longer clear.
Morality was largely dictated by the ruling classes and the clergy. The Divine Right of Kings being an explanation as to why they held such power. When royalty lost its relevance and was even violently overthrown in some cases, it left a void, the magnitude and impact of which a lot of people can't quite grasp. A lot of these ideas and contexts seem like a given to us now. Like the internet is to little children today. It's just there. So too with the transition into the age we live in and the political concepts and definitions we have honed.
Nowadays the world is too dynamic and changes too fast to limit yourself by rigid ideology. The paradigm isn't equipped to pivot and meet the challenges posed by the technological revolution over the past 20 years and the inextricable and universal changes it brought.
Pragmatic Naturalist Tribalism. A close-knit culturally and ethnically defined sort of nation. Culturally and ethnically homogenous, high trust, high accountability, high adaptability. The former 3 are mutually exclusive to the latter. Can't have it without them, first. When you establish high accountability and a homogenous population, cooperation and trust is established, and from this comes adaptability which can cultivate effective pragmatic approaches to any given problem. We were on the road in this direction before. Every great civilization has operated on a similar paradigm.
