Try
:filetype indent off
:set autoindent nosmartindent nocindent nolispindent indentexpr=
The ":set" line is as full as that in order to make sure that any indent
settings already set by filetype-plugins are reset. If you don't use
sessions, it would probably be enough to just write
filetype indent off
set autoindent nosmartindent
into your vimrc, after the call to vimrc_example.vim if you source it;
or if you don't, replace
filetype plugin indent on
(if present) by
filetype plugin on
(or add the latter if you just don't have any ":filetype" command in
your vimrc), and remove any "indent" options other than "autoindent"
from any "set" statements that might already be there.

remove all these; any of them which you don't like are set by indent
plugins already, and removing "indent" from "filetype [...] on" will
avoid loading these; any useful ones are, I think, set by
filetype-plugins, which are sourced automatically when needed, once you
have set ":filetype plugin on".
