The Importance of Absurd Ideological Beliefs

An absurd ideological belief is actually a form of tribal signaling it signals to one's ideology is more important to them than reason itself than truth sanity. The more ridiculous the belief, the stronger your show of fealty is to the organization or the group that you're a part of because if you have to put aside an awful lot of reality in order to be able to believe this thing they go wow like pomps a reliable ally. It's not coordination it's cowardice and ideological beliefs are like shows of fealty and threat displays That really to me helped to turn down the volume of the culture war back and forth everybody gets caught up in it.
