I don't know about that Tom.
The fundamental truth of the matter is that ideologues are a subset of the
insecure.

Blink blink...wow...fascinating...but ..again your buffoonish opinion
is noted.

You are an ideologue. I am an ideologue. Every poster here is an
ideologue.
Looks like you'll have to debate facts.
ideology
1. the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual,
social movement, institution, class, or large group.
2. such a body of doctrine, myth, etc., with reference to some political
and social plan, as that of fascism, along with the devices for putting
it into operation.
3. Philosophy.
a. the study of the nature and origin of ideas.
b. a system that derives ideas exclusively from sensation.
4. theorizing of a visionary or impractical nature.
[Origin: 1790–1800; ideo- + -logy; cf. F idéologie]

You looked up the wrong word, strabo. What you want is ideologue, not
ideology. Here's Merriam-Webster's on ideologue:
Main Entry: ideo·logue
Variant(s): also idea·logue 'i-de-?-?lo?g, -?läg
Function: noun
Etymology: French idéologue, back-formation from idéologie
Date: 1815
1 : an impractical idealist : theorist
2 : an often blindly partisan advocate or adherent of a particular ideology
The back formation carries some extra, crucial connotations.
