I've heard the phrase "ideological commitment" a few times recently. I think that phrase nicely sums up the insanity of modernity. It's a completely nonsensical statement. If you're aware that something you believe in is an "ideology", that is a totally arbitrary clump of ideas, why would you commit to it? The neocon brand of nihilism follows that formula.
The idea behind that phrase is that the moderns "won philosophy" and we're really at the end of "history", and the truth of all has been revealed. The "truth" is humans are lower than animals and the only thing that matters is the con and living a cushy grifting life.
