I think more that there’s a lot of militarized ideology out there. For example, any ideology with a live and let live attitude (particularly to defectors from themselves) is fine.
But with an us versus them attitude, persecution of perceived traitors, pre-planned blaming, huge aversion to understanding alternate viewpoints, and a general hostility to anything that would inconvenience the narratives of the ideology, that’s a heavily armed ideology looking for trouble.
Not all ideologies are equally bad. Some are good. But yes, ideologies were the major cause of wars in the 20th century.
Writers are really good about taking something and dumbing it down to the point there is no point. Do you know who else drank water?
