A good ideology is one that is open to criticism & debate, understands that truth is a journey of discovery.
A bad ideology will lay sole claim to the truth, which time will disprove. It will criticize competitors but will silence critics through bullying tactics (name-calling, shaming), economic power (special taxes, hiring/firing for expressing opinions) & finally, threat of physical violence (eg: flogging, imprisonment) or even death.
Unknowingly, our own minds may be led astray to become unwitting participants of the bad ideology through the power of marketing backed by huge money & creative minds. Yoga & Dhyana can help us know our minds a little better & help it avoid an echo chamber.
