To safeguard themselves against ideological manipulation that preys on feelings of isolation, individuals can cultivate critical thinking skills and maintain a strong connection with reality through lived experiences. It is essential to differentiate between isolation (necessary for creative activity) and loneliness (a state of feeling deserted by human companionship). By being aware of the tactics used by ideologies such as divorcing thinking from action, controlling historical narratives, and creating distrust in personal judgment, individuals can resist falling into the trap of organized loneliness. Building resilience against ideological manipulation involves staying grounded in one's values, seeking diverse perspectives, and questioning dominant narratives.
