And like wise fundamentals are going to try to sway your emotions by the same means- using threats,excommunication, and slander.In my opinion the difference is size. Cults tend to be small- maybe a coupla thousand- but something like Baptists or the much scorned Mormons theyre considered fundamentalists. Culturally speaking they start and act similar to the smaller cults.
So I just dont see much use in the definition change. they are cults as far as Im conserned cause they both rob that sense of agency and self.

" being a punk isnt about just being a nihilistic violent antiauthority protestor, its about valuing people over some systemic machine. if the machine works for everyone then it is not authority, if it works for few, it is. the role of bigotry is then to convince you a machine that works for few works for all, while a machine that works for all is communism."
