A defensive setting inside of the programming of a former fundamentalist that's activated when the person is under pressure or their personal paradigm is challenged, resulting in the person demonstrating negative attitudes, actions, and words that characterize fundamentalist communities. It is an inability to assimilate disagreement in a healthy & respectful manner, no matter how strongly one feels about their view.
Some of these negative traits are personalizing disagreement, judgmental, passive aggressiveness, avoiding conflict, treating opinions as facts, condescension, self-righteousness, etc. This setting can be triggered independently of the person's character or it can be an expression of the person's character. When triggered independently of a person's character, Menno Mode is a deeply rooted program from their former upbringing that is difficult to erase.
This setting is often triggered in former & current Mennonites, Amish, homeschooled kids, seminary students, Cage Stage Calvinists, wokesters, and other fundamentalist communities that elevate their opinion and convictions to the level of fact.

Starbucks Mode (n.): An intellectual endeavor conceptualized by Sir Thomas Jackson in the year 2023, characterized by the diligent and assiduous engagement with scholarly or professional work on one's electronic device, manuscript, or tome, accompanied by the auditory backdrop of music. This practice was initially instantiated by a pupil's entreaty to amalgamate musical stimulation with their academic pursuits, to which Sir Jackson acquiesced with a modicum of reservation.
