Arguably that&#x27;s one of the underlying themes of the entire article. In particular point #5 seems to address this, and especially the article&#x27;s quote of Daniel Bell:<p><pre><code>  Ideology makes it unnecessary for people to confront individual issues on their own merits. 
  One simply turns to the ideological vending machine, and out come the prepared formulae.

I particularly like the &quot;ideological vending machine&quot; metaphor, and I think it describes exactly what you&#x27;re talking about.
