->''"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."''
-->-- '''UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill'''

[[SelfDemonstratingArticle This is the one true index!]] All other indexes are heretics!\\
\\
We are not fanatics, oh no, we are simply righteous!\\
\\
Sadly, this index also contains a lot of heresy, and heresy of the worst kind: The fanatics, those who believe their lies just as strongly as we believe in the truth. And since they are the majority here, we grudgingly accept the title "index of fanatics". Also, our hands are tied: We cannot say which one of the tropes listed below is the one and only true path that expose all the others as lies. Why? Because that's the only way we could all agree on this text, that's why!

For an index where this is on a governmental level, see HelpHelpThisIndexIsBeingRepressed.

'''Adding tropes to this index:''' Do not include any trait that a fanatic can have, only traits that are intrinsic to how they are fanatic or is the only thing the fanatic cares about. Examples of traits that are common among fanatics but shouldn't be included anyway is TheFettered, ForHappiness and ForGreatJustice. Also please note that far from everyone who fits a "who" or "how" trope is a fanatic. Having those tropes listed here means that fanatics usually fit these tropes, but in the other direction it merely means that characters who fit these tropes at least somewhat often are fanatics. KnightInSourArmor and TheFettered are both borderline cases. The former barely makes the list, the latter barely stays out.

* OpinionMyopia: Who cares about your opinions when you should care about ours?
* OpinionOverride: How dare they offend a group that we are not a part of!
* OrderedApology: You've wronged us by flaunting your immoral behavior! ''Apologize!'' And it better be a sincere one even if you really aren't sorry!
* OutsideInsideSlur: You claim to be part of us, and yet you share many characteristics in common with that other group that we hate!
* PaedoHunt: Some of us will use "For the children!" as our rallying cry, branding everyone from [[AllGaysArePedophiles LGBT people]] to photographers to the slightly weird-acting passersby as pedophiles and decrying ''even age-appropriate sexuality and abuse reporting information'' as "sexualizing children."
* PayEvilUntoEvil: An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth! Doing evil things to evil people is righteous!

* PoliceState: State security is necessary to keep the citizens in lines.
* PoliticalOvercorrectness: We find that certain words and actions are very offensive and we will do anything in our power to prohibit anyone from saying or doing them! If you are not offended by any such words or actions, then you are an evil person that needs to be put away!
* ThePowerOfHate: We are driven collectively by our hatred of something!
* PrayerOfMalice: We pray to our righteous deity that people like you disappear forever.
* PretextForWar: So, that place we want to wage war against has done nothing to us? We'll ''find'' something, and if we can't do that, we will [[FalseFlagOperation make it ourselves]].
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: If you're good to us, regardless of your actions, then we determine you as good. But if you don't agree with us, even if you're nice to us, you're unquestionably evil!

* PsychologicalProjection: We're not the evil ones, everyone else is!
* PublicExecution: What better way to kill a person than to do it with society watching?
* ThePurge: Let's get rid of the old regime's supporters, including their whole families, and install in our own allies through {{Kangaroo Court}}s.
* PunishedForSympathy: How dare you show pity and kindness to the enemy! You are a true scum! You must be severely punished!
* {{Realpolitik}}: In order to protect our interests, we must be ruthless!
* RedAndBlackTotalitarianism: Hmmm, what colors should we put on our flag, to let people know where we stand?
* RationalizingTheOverkill: We are completely aware that our punishments on those who do wrong may be extreme, but they are perfectly justified nevertheless!
* ReligionIsWrong: Humanity should have OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions and moved on to greater, more material things. Anybody who promotes religion is nothing more than a right-wing [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]] and Bible-thumper supporting such outdated ideas!
* RestartTheWorld: [[CrapsackWorld This world is polluted by evil, low-life creatures.]] Let's just burn it all down and start over!
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: You oppressed us for so long, it's obvious your tribe/race/religion/class/what-have-you are AlwaysChaoticEvil and in desperate need of total eradication! The more violent and brutal the better.
* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: We are better than you, and so we can do things that would be considered evil if lesser beings like you did them! Related to ProtagonistCenteredMorality and OmniscientMoralityLicense.
* Room101: Let's subject a dissenter to their worst fears and [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwash them]] to follow our Dear and Great Leader!
* ScienceIsBad: The opposite of ReligionIsWrong: There's nothing more disgusting and wicked than technology. Anyone who uses it is nothing more than a MadScientist or an amoral media junkie corrupted by the media.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: If I have to use unorthodox or even illegal methods to accomplish my noble goal, I’ll do it in a heartbeat!
* SelfDefenseRuse: We'll murder you, then justify it by claiming it was done in self-defense when it actually wasn't!
* SeriousBusiness: We take everything in the world ''very'' seriously and those who don't will face our wrath!
* SentencedWithoutTrial: The truly guilty don't deserve the mercy of a trial!
* SexIsEvil: How dare you have sex for any purpose other than procreation! It's not just not our taste, it's disgusting and evil and unclean!
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: ...But if you provoke us with your lustiness, then you ''will'' satisfy our libido! It shall be your punishment for being a slut!
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: If we are [[TheIdealist idealists]], we believe that you debbie-downers who go on talking about how life is terrible are a bunch of whiny, ungrateful, low-life losers who are too stubborn to see that life is beautiful, even in its dark times. Take those JadeColoredGlasses off!
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: If we are [[TheCynic cynics]], we believe that you happy-go-lucky buffoons who go on talking about how life is beautiful are naïve, childish, and brainwashed kids who need to get your heads out of the clouds and accept the hard truth that life is awful! Grow up!
* SinsOfOurFathers: It's right to punish children for the shortcomings of their ancestors.
* SlipperySlopeFallacy: We will accuse our opponents of this even if we are ourselves JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. See {{Hypocri|te}}sy and YouAreWhatYouHate.
* SlobsVersusSnobs:
** If we are the snobs, we think you lazy, filthy, disgusting leeches should just get a job, pull yourselves up by the bootstraps, and until then enjoy a limited and painful existence as your just punishment for not being born a snob.
** If we are the slobs, we think AristocratsAreEvil and all rich people are AlwaysChaoticEvil and/or the CorruptCorporateExecutive planning to TakeOverTheWorld, and that any sign of appreciating or enjoying wealth marks you as an out of touch UpperClassTwit who wants the poor to suffer and die.
* SlutShaming: You had sex?! Shame on you, you whore! You deserve to die!
* TheStateless: Dissenters are deported to an unknown region and are stripped of their citizenship or nationality for criticizing us.
* StayInTheKitchen: Women should never partake in any masculine activities!
* StillFightingTheCivilWar: That war may be long over, but we're still bitter about it!
* SubParSupremacist: Sure those ''other'' people are tall and smart and good-looking and well-adjusted and not overweight like we are, but they're ''others'', inferior to us in every way!
* SuicideIsShameful: People who kill themselves or are thinking about killing themselves because life has been terrible to them are nothing but a bunch of selfish cowards who deserve to rot in hell! And, don't you dare say that suicide is not worse than murder, because it ''is''!
* SuperRegistrationAct: We can force superheroes to register with the government (including their own identities), but face punishments if they don't.
* TaughtToHate: Pass our hatred down to the next generation!
* ThereShouldBeALaw: Anything you do that we don't like is not only immoral, but also should be illegal.
* ThinkOfTheChildren: This thing should be eradicated from existence because somewhere, somehow, at some point in time, a hypothetical child might see it and become scarred for life!
* {{Thoughtcrime}}: The truth of our stand is obvious to anyone mentally competent. Therefore, those who deny it must be either stupid or driven by malice!
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Screw "justice" and "fairness"! If we want to repel the evil from our midst, we must do it ourselves!
* TwistingTheWords: Because anything anyone says can be made into something else entirely; it's [[RulesOfTheInternet Internet Rule 13, plain and simple]].
* UnPerson: Since he's a dissenter, let's falsify the records and make them disappear from all documents!
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: We're going to make the world into a paradise! It doesn't matter how many people we have to kill, enslave, or torture in the process, it'll all be WorthIt in the end, we swear!
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: To save humanity, all monsters must be destroyed. Why should we care if they're evil or not? Every single one of them deserves to die!
* VanInBlack: We're watching criminals and dissenters from a distance.

* WhatTheRomansHaveDoneForUs: Yes, we're evil conquerors, but life before we came was much worse!

* WeedingOutImperfections: We will cut down the undesirables like we cut down weeds in a garden!
* WetBlanketWife: We don't care ''what'' awesome feat or heroic battle our LoveInterest needs to do! They need to think about the consequences of their actions and how it makes ''us'' feel!
* WhenIWasYourAge: We are disgusted with the modern generation for having it easy with things such as technology, recreational activities, and their ways of living their lives! Why can't they understand and appreciate the standards we uphold and the hardships we've endured back then?! We liked them better that way!
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: It's your own fault for making us abuse you!

* WillNotTellALie: Ever. [[PrinciplesZealot No matter who gets hurt.]]
* WitchHunt: If you are in the minority, especially regarding religion, we will hunt you down!
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: We are good and our enemies are evil. Anyone taking a neutral stance in our conflict or wishing to stay out of it entirely is therefore tolerating the existence of evil, making them just as evil!
* YouAreWhatYouHate: ''Many'' of us are exactly what we wish to not exist, whether in being the mirror image of our political opponents, our own race or sexuality not being "perfect" according to our rules, or similar. See {{Hypocri|te}}sy above.
* YouCantMakeAnOmelette: You can't make something great without destroying something!
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: We will dispose of you once you're no longer of use to us!
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: It doesn't matter how many bad things the freedom fighters have done, because they are fighting for freedom. Likewise, it doesn't matter the cause of the terrorists, because they are causing terror.

[[folder:'''Kinds/Flavors of Works''' We Are Extra Likely to Write or Appear In]]
* AllegedlyOptimisticEnding: [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAnIndex What do you mean, it's not a]] HappyEnding? It's in line with what we believe; therefore, it's a Happy Ending!
* AndThatsTerrible: We can't rely on ShowDontTell to get our message across to the ignorant, stupid masses. We must spell it out in black and white to make ''sure'' they know. And if they reject it afterward, well, then it's on them!
* {{Anvilicious}}: Again, the audience is ignorant and stupid. Subtlety and nuance will just fly right over their head, and are purely detrimental to getting our message out there. We must beat the audience over the head with it instead, it's the only way those idiots will get it.
* AuthorTract: Who cares about telling a good story? We're here to ''preach'', dammit! In fact, we should actively ''avoid'' telling a good story, since if people are enjoying themselves too much while reading/watching it, they'll be too distracted to pay attention to our message!
* DisobeyThisMessage: Don't believe the same dumbass things as everyone around you! Form your own, more intelligent beliefs! ...By which we mean the same beliefs as us, of course.

* TheExtremistWasRight: ''See?'' We ''told'' you our extreme solution was the only one!
* HitlerAteSugar: Let's dissuade people from doing something we don't like by implying that they will be associated with an evil person if they do it.
* RealLife: Appearance only but unfortunately, we appear there ''very'' often, so much that our appearances there often inspire our appearances in fiction.
* ScareEmStraight: Kids won't remember "You'll be righteous and have good things happen to you if you go with us." as easily as they'll remember "You'll be evil and have horrific things happen to you if you go against us." Related to EasyRoadToHell and AccentuateTheNegative.
* YouBastard: There's nothing like the audience's favorite fictional character saying they should agree with us to help them to do just that.
