What's yours? I always push back on your premise that it's "extreme ideologies" driving the dysfunction because, well, it's not. Ideology is a good thing.
An ideology is fine. The problem is when an individual & group decide that
their ideology is the only path and that there's something wrong with anyone who dares to disagree with them, and they do everything they can to shove the whole thing down our throats for our own good.
That is narcissistic, shallow, childish and generally repugnant to me.
I have an ideology, for sure. I think that the best, longest lasting, and most innovative ideas come from communication, collaboration and intellectual honesty. That's why I have zero use for either end of the spectrum and consider them to be the problem.
