Politics are largely a function of self-interest rather than world model per se.

Different people have different conceptions of “self”, sometimes vastly different.

I think that in itself is already an ideological statement. Not everyone sees politics through that lens.

Of course it's an ideological statement, there is no way to define a concept without having beliefs about that concept.

Exactly. There is no such thing as non-ideological statements from humans. In the context of this thread, ideology is the name for "world models".
