I'm sorry, did you just call her a fundie?
Hmm, let me check.
Spukikitty in a nutshell. When her beliefs and reality disagree, in her mind it's reality that's not only wrong, but has to be e-yelled at until it realises this is "the Age of Aquarias" or whatever other new age woo she's moronic enough to take seriously. Then of course she comes back a few weeks later and the whole cycle begins anew.
I have to say, there are few things more annoying than a new age fundie.
As it turns out, I did in fact call her a fundie. The moar you know.
Well then. What reason do you have to do so?
Oh yeah, she's a fundie. I consider myself very far left, even by the standard of this board, but I cannot wrap my head around the viciousness with which she attacks conservatives. I disagree with them as much as anybody. I consider many, if not most, of their ideas and beliefs to be outright repugnant. She, on the other hand, portrays the people themselves to be repugnant. And that's not just the wingnuts like Andrew Schafley and Ken Hamm, it is any person who happens to lean to the right. That's not okay. Go look at any one of the ignorant, misguided, sickeningly idealistic threads that she starts, and flip the words conservative and progressive. Any of those posts would make fstdt in a heartbeat. The post that she just made approaches savagesusie like levels of insanity, just on the other side.
For fuck's sake, she actually used the phrase, "the Left will rise again." She unironically paraphrased an insane neoconfederate line that absolutely nobody takes seriously to chide the rest of us for not taking her seriously.
Let's compare her behavior to
Rationalwiki's characteristics of fundamentalists1. Religious idealism is the basis for personal and communal identity;
If not religious idealism, then certainly political idealism describes her. Then again, the random Hindu phrases that she threw into that post makes me wonder if it isn't both.
2. Fundamentalists understand truth to be revealed and unified;
Progressivism isn't a political viewpoint to her, it is TRUTH.
3. It is intentionally scandalous (outsiders cannot understand it and will always be outsiders);
Go to any of the random, idealistic threads that she starts and pay attention to how she casts conservatives (or "regressives" or "frummers" or "teahadists" or whatever the hell she calls them) as the scary other. As the enemy, rather than as people with whom we happen to disagree.
4. Fundamentalists envision themselves as part of a cosmic struggle;
She starts an us vs. them cosmic struggle thread every few weeks. "We can take back this country! Americans are progressive! We just need to do this thing!"
5. They seize on historical moments and reinterpret them in light of this cosmic struggle;
I would say that claiming that the United States is a progressive country would be a pretty solid example of this, but maybe I'm overreaching there.
6. They demonize their opposition and are reactionary;
I don't think I could write a better description of her than this sentence.
7. Fundamentalists are selective in what parts of their tradition and heritage they stress;
8. They are primarily led by a narrow demographic (e.g. white males);
9. They envy modernist cultural hegemony and try to overturn the distribution of power;
These three don't really apply to her.
10. Their logic is so different from normal logic, they cannot be argued with.
In this very thread, when it was suggested that perhaps the millennial generation was not quite as progressive as she was assuming, her response was to freak out and effectively scream that she was right and the other guy was wrong.
