Oh, fuck off, ideologues. We don't have time to indulge your ideological bullshit. We have secular liberal democracies to protect.

Ideology is a replacement self-esteem supply.
The late USAF Colonel John R. Boyd (1927 – 1997) was hard on ideologues: “Don’t be a member of Clausewitz’s school because a lot has happened since 1832,” he would warn his audiences, “and don’t be a member of Sun Tzu’s school because an awful lot has happened since 400 BC.”
