In essence, there's nothing wrong with taking the ideology of someone or something else and going by it. There are some really good ideologies and mind sets out there that more people should quite frankly go by. imo, Kaneki's issue isn't so much that he doesn't create his own ideologies, rather, his sense of self can be weak leading him to mimic everyone in his life good or bad. Yamori for one was one of the worst influences in his life, but between Kaneki's preexisting issues and Yamori breaking him down further, he took on some of his habits and ideals despite them being terrible.

He's back into the very broken mentality of blaming all the world's problems on self weakness and his attitude towards Urie shows how much he regressed. Mostly, it plays into the tragedy of his character. No matter how much he tries or progresses, the world keeps pulling him back into a dark place and pulling the people he cares along with him.
