To Fundamentalize: definition

To fundamentalize, I propose, is to politicize a set of beliefs, to weaponize them, turning them into the one view of the world that everyone must believe or be considered an outsider or worse. To put it another way, to fundamentalize is to claim monopoly over some truth that affects the whole world. A fundamentalizing attitude is antithetical to democratic liberty. It has a tendency to seek supremacy. I have come to think of domination, whatever its forms, as fundamentalizing.
