The point is not to deny the usefulness of a notion of ideology, just to say that we don’t need obscure speech to talk about it, point to it, and look at how it functions.
The fetish for “clear speech” is yet another ideology. It assumes

the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its
