Hi,
Consider an idea (for example, communism) as a parasite. It infects the host (you) when you are exposed to it. It can happen without the involvement of other people. For example you might just stumble upon it while reading a book in a library. It then exploits your need to share information with other people and you unwittingly help it spread and infect other people. It is capable of evolution. It is like a virus. If the strain that infected you isn't potent enough to gain widespread attention, it will hijack your creative potential and make you modify it so that it can become more acceptable to the public. At their peak they become ideologies and they get so rooted in society that you can't escape their grasp. The only effective cure against them are counter-ideas. You can't eradicate them; even if you destroy all evidence that an idea ever existed, it will just randomly pop up elsewhere again.
Humans have less agency over their actions than you think. From the moment you are born, your brain is constantly being invaded by these non-physical entities called ideas. It's just a matter of time until one of them indoctrinates you.
Maybe instead of being angry at other people for doing x and doing y, you should recognize ideas as the true enemy and help resist their corruption?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
