Ideology reproduces most effectively through non-biased professional practice

Evidence

The ‘drinking urine from a cup’ story was a fantasy that existed only in the overheated imaginations of ritual abuse believers. … Yet (with the exception of Judge Anderson, who was not required to evaluate the credibility of the evidence) every professional who passed that fantasy along its five-stage journey to the Ellis trial took it seriously. — Lynley Hood, A City Possessed, 1602 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)

It was, in this sense, that “experience” was conceived, not as an authenticating source but as an effect: not as a reflection of the real but as an “imaginary relation.” It was only a short step—the one which separates For Marx from Althusser’s “Ideological State Apparatuses”—to the development of an account of how this “imaginary relation” served, not simply the dominance of a ruling class over a dominated one, but (through the reproduction of the relations of production, and the constitution of labor-power in a form fit for capitalist exploitation) the expanded reproduction of the mode of production itself. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 195 (#expands, via linked claim)
