If we promote the ideas themselves, instead of promoting the organization who espouses the ideas, then we communicate better with others and find freedom outside pre-made ideological boxes.

Don't just accept ideas you disagree with as part of a "group-package" ideology, just because your team says you have to. Evaluate every idea on its own merit, and society will be better off for it.

Divide & Conquer is a lot harder to pull off on us if we all just see ourselves as humans evaluating ideas, instead of nation A vs nation B, or religion A vs religion B, or political party A vs party B. Don't identify with any ideology. Just identify with ideas. Then divide and conquer becomes like herding cats, it's impossible. And we are more true to ourselves and evaluate reality more clearly.

IMO it's an obvious choice to wean yourself off of ideological group-think, and instead be your own unique constellation of ideas, without needing a label for what that is. This is freedom.

Of course, it's okay to support a team if they line up with your ideas. However it is not good to support ideas just because you support a team with those ideas. This is putting the cart before the horse. Yet it seems to be what 75% of people do, because our culture reinforces the importance of belonging to groups and teams as more important than ideas, than the subtle truth. Use your ideas first to guide you, then the ideologies and groups you belong to as secondary. Otherwise, you are just being controlled and used by those groups and are not truly a free and independent being.
