In 1948—Hannah Arendt wrote in The Origins of Totalitarianism that ideologies are “isms that pretend to have found the key explanation for all the mysteries of life and world,” taken from @aimstein book #TerrorLoveAndBrainwashing.
As well, Stein says—ideology “rejects any knowledge of the outside world in order to CREATE A FICTITIOUS WORLD within the hermetically sealed #totalist system” and ..”DOMINATING and TERRORIZING human beings from WITHIN.”
Sound familiar? #fascism #USA 👀

#Introduction cont.: In addition, I've spent some considerable time devoted to two specific #totalist subjects: #cultic studies and #conspiracism (est. 2007), and I absolutely adore the scholars in these fields. >>
