I believe, unlike people that are totally free-market, laissez-faire fundamentalists, that there is an important role that the government can play - one, in providing public goods, whether it's education, health care, or other things, and two, supervising countercyclical policy - stimulus, whether it's monetary, fiscal, or otherwise.

Fundamentalists are crazy. They're the real world equivalent to the evil geniuses of our spy fiction and our superhero comics. They want to mold the world into a specific shape that they really believe in, and if you don't believe in that, if you can't relate to that, it just seems crazy.

I am a bit of a fundamentalist when it comes to black women's hair. Hair is hair - yet also about larger questions: self-acceptance, insecurity and what the world tells you is beautiful. For many black women, the idea of wearing their hair naturally is unbearable.

Fundamentalist governments and organizations endanger stability in the world.

Fundamentalist is often linked to strict religious beliefs and can carry a negative connotation when used in secular contexts.

Religious Association

Being a fundamentalist doesn't necessarily mean extremist; it can simply reflect a deep commitment to traditional beliefs.

Not Always Extremism

Fundamentalist can be used in political contexts to describe someone with uncompromising adherence to core principles.

Political Use

As an adjective, fundamentalist isn't limited to religion – it can apply to any belief system, including politics or philosophy.

Not Just Religion

Use the term carefully as it can be sensitive or offensive if misapplied to someone's cultural or religious practices.
