;Stay away from these as much as possible;
*sick ideologies, movements, policies and agendas
::*state monopoly capitalism, corporatocracy, limousine liberalism, champagne socialism, extreme socialist movements and islamofascism/islamist extremism/Qutbism/Khomeinism etc.
::*always advocate for anti-corruption, anti-monopoly, and anti-cartel policies and practices. Unfettered state and bureaucratic power lead to corruption, excessive taxation, sluggish bureaucracy, and market monopolies. Cheap money and investors can offer benefits, but we should acknowledge the potential downsides.
::*don't blindly accept ideas simply because they're mainstream and popular in your society. For example, Indophobia due to the Canadian government's recent migration policies, Homophobia due to LGBTQ+ and DEI, Americanophobia sentiment especially after the rhetoric of the late '60s, Sinophobia just because of CCP or Russophobia. Yes, not all ideas and ideologies are equal when considering their consequences/impact and critical thinking is essential but when evaluating ideas always consider potential biases. Develop your own well-informed judgment, listening to exact opposed viewpoints and analyzing them critically, reading history from more than one source can be valuable tool in this process. In summary, this kind of mindset will help you avoid manipulation and prevent becoming a "useful idiot/fool". Although, this isn't about promoting reckless rebellion or being a silly anarchist kid, but there's value in questioning popular ideas, being aware of herd mentality, thinking critically and re-evaluating the shepherd's path. Sometimes, the loudest barks from the sheepdog don't mean it has the herd's best interests at heart. Remember, a good shepherd listens not just to the dog, but also to the needs of the flock.
