A person or group that believes that for society to function correctly, everybody in the society has to conform at all times to a narrow set of values, beliefs, and actions, as specified and defined by them. People or groups who fail or refuse to conform to the specified beliefs values and actions are defined as “Others”, and are regarded as lesser people who deserve diminution, condemnation, excoriation, demonization, and, in extreme cases, persecution up to and including death.
Impositional Conformism is now the preferred operating model for significant religious, political and other authoritarian-leaning groups in the modern USA.
