gollark: Well, the ideal would be an automatic system which just randomly chooses anything people consider a "political ideology", based on how much it's being talked about.
gollark: * automatically → easily automatically
gollark: Which is the problem.
gollark: But you can't automatically detect whether a particular keyword or trending item is a political ideology.
gollark: The best* way would probably be a Twitter scraper to determine how much people are talking about each ideology, but their API is really annoying to get access to and you'd need to explicitly compile a list or something.
