In this video, we delve into the complex world of political ideologies, focusing on the ideological battle that shapes the future of political parties. We explore the concept of ideology, its impact on our speech habits, and how it influences our understanding of historical events. We discuss the weakening self-images and justifications of rulers across the world, a phenomenon we term as 'ideological implosion'. We also touch upon the dangerous momentum unleashed by ideologies that celebrate violence, terming this tendency as 'nihilist'. We examine key historical events that involved decisions with momentous consequences, challenging the belief in the inevitable motion of history. We discuss the concept of 'endless deferral', where we find ourselves in a permanent waiting room, passing time in a 'joyless quest for joy'. We explore the destruction of language through ideology, using terms such as newspeak, doublespeak, doublethink, and reality control. We discuss the connection between theology and power, and how the sovereignty of justice and the good has been perverted into the tyrannical fantasy of eternal power. Finally, we reflect on Rabindranath Tagore’s 1910 poem 'Where the Mind is Without Fear', as an answer to the propaganda machine.
