What about "no single mindset works all the time" instead? Sometimes you need to bite the bullet and just learn to live with something, sometimes you need not to, and instead fight until you can't, to get out of the situation. Different moments call for different ways of seeing situations, and maybe learning to identify what moment calls for what mindset is something we need to focus on more, rather than digging into one position that should always work.

Ideology belongs in the trash.

But yea you can pick and choose parts of some ideologies as they are useful in the moment.

Not to split hairs but isn't the phrase "ideology belongs in the trash" itself somewhat ideological?

[portaouflop]

Definitely. In a way ideology is what shapes our reality so you can never be fully free of it.

It’s like saying “I’m not political”, it’s also a political statement/stance.

Personally I came up with my own flavour of practical Taoism as ideology; something like Konrad from the bridge trilogy

Yes I agree with all that and for the record, I was being a bit cheeky.

Personally, I think it's dogma that belongs in the bin, rather than ideology.

I can't really say it's based on anything empirical, but to me, ideology is almost meant to be critically analyzed where as dogma is based on strict acceptance.

I'd summarize my feelings by saying ideology is presented whereas dogma is dictated, if that makes any sense.

I love that and it does make sense to me, thanks for sharing.

Dogma is what you follow blindly and don’t question, whereas ideology while still rigid you can examine and shape according to your own personal values.
