In software engineering the word has also long meant "a decision not made purely on technical terms"
I think there is a lot of overlap between politics and ideology, and an increasing amount of overlap between ideology and emotion.
I think it's fair to call me out for skipping a step, but I wasn't using it to mean "idea I don't agree with".
