Your Definition
Thought that operates entirely within the boundaries of a given ideology, never questioning its core assumptions or venturing beyond its permitted conclusions. Ideothought is not independent thinking but the internalization of ideological rules so deeply that they feel like one’s own. It produces opinions that are perfectly predictable from the ideology, and it treats any deviation as irrational or immoral. Ideothought is the cognitive substrate of ideological conformity, where the ideology thinks through the individual rather than the individual thinking through the ideology.
