Ideology

May 20, 2014 6:46 PM from

Can we please stop treating "good" and "evil" as ideologies? It doesn't make a bit of sense. Even if everyone could agree on what good and evil entailed, "evil ideology" means what - an ideological commitment to make everything shit for everyone? I can only interpret "evil" in the context of a motivating force as meaning amoral/unconcerned with ethics. But that wouldn't come with motivation to solidarity with others who are similarly unconcerned about ethics, as diplomatic bonuses for sharing the same "ideology" imply

I agree Good and Evil are not ideologies, while Pragmatism is an ideology at least; Good and Evil are value judgements not ideologies. To misquote someone, “No one chooses evil knowing it to be evil”.

That said it’s just a game and clearly they’ve decided not to mess with the complexity of real life ideologies, but maybe they should rename the system to something other than ideologies, so as not to confuse people.
