Ok I just wanted to say something because this is apparently something new.
Just because you, or anyone, prescribes to an idea it doesn't mean you prescribe to that idea's ideology.
Believing that Welfare provides a suitable safety net and improves society doesn't make you a Liberal. Believing in strong military spending doesn't make you Conservative. Being a strong morally upstanding person doesn't make you a Christian.
When someone makes the argument that it is indeed the case they are doing one of two things
-1) They are trying to devalue the idea: Hitler ate sugar
-2) They are trying to convert or assert their ideology onto you: You believe in Animal Rights? Well you are basically a PETA member! You should also agree with this!
Secondly!
Just because an Ideology prescribes to an idea, it doesn't mean they uphold the spirit of that idea, and additionally just because someone prescribes to an ideology it doesn't mean they prescribe to all the ideas under that ideology.
A common defense one will see with an Ideology is that they aren't "Against" something or that they are "For" something, or someone who is caught doing something untoward will often defend themselves by using that Ideology as a defense ("I am Christian, we give to the poor. I wouldn't steal from them"). This is to outright deflect criticism or even control criticism.
For example a lot of ideologies say they openly accept and encourage criticism and they might even have essays on the importance of such. Yet when criticism is presented the ideology, or its members, might use its weight to shut it down.
Additionally they might even say they are open to criticism and that attempts to shut down dissent are by a small minority. Yet when that ideology actively goes out of its way not to discourage or even encourage such behavior or just excuses it, then you get the idea.

I am just feeling so betrayed... I don't know what to do...
What I especially hate about making this post is... I hate that I have to make it... Because there are plenty of groups that are unfairly marginalized or demonized because of select members they either have no control over, or who are included for no reason ("All animal rights is PETA"), or the group Isn't A POLITICAL OR IDEOLOGICAL AFFILIATION AND THUS MEMBERS ARE INFORMAL AT BEST OR AUTOMATIC AT WORSE ("Internet User"). You know, like how ALL GAMERS are somehow at fault because Anita Sarceesian is harassed and how OBAMA himself told Gamers to police this (It would be like saying that All Fishermen should police Pirates, because you know... Boats).
