An ideology then becomes a place where an individual can plug their own non-physical disabilities into a ready-made world view that supports their current state of existence. It explains why so many of the ISIS jihadi's seem to have a penchant for violent and pedophilic pornography, and why the progressive movement has elevated perversion first to victim status and now to sainthood.
