    misogyny. I'm not saying it causes the most death and harm (though it may), just that I've never met or heard of any dangerous ideology where misogyny wasn't a core element.

    Feminism inoculates against fascism.

      Islam. A combination of misogyny, oppressive laws, puritanical beliefs, child mutilation, condemnation of curiosity, and a particular focus on growth of numbers by both birth and conversion. Other religions are close behind though.

          Isaac Asimov famously said, “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”.

          The idea that any idea is worth listening to because someone believes in it.

          Show me the proof.

            Greed.

            Religion has been said, but religion is always just the excuse for justifying greed

            Belief that some unfalsafiable deity is behind you, and therefore any of your actions are righteous is incredibly dangerous, because there's no accountability. How many atrocities are justified by religion, and the belief that justice will be done in the next life?

            Religion is used to justify things like the fascist movement currently sweeping through the US, abhorrent regimes in the middle-east, and the subjugation of people (particularly women) everywhere

            Of course, religion is the justification, but the real objective is to gather more wealth and power

            From the mega-churches in the US, to the Vatican, to the mullah in a village somewhere in the world, it's all about having more

              I think of all superstitions as being a microcosmic form of fascism in a way, in that the mouthpiece of the supernatural is the one dictating the rules of right and wrong and what can transcend reality.

                  Fascism. It makes people loose their humanity. Fascists endure anything as long as people outside their group are suffering.

                    Especially since people use religion to bolster fascism. Fascists love to pander to a nation’s largest religion to lock in their support.

                                I think any idea is worth listening to, it's the assertion that we must inherently accept their viewpoint as valid that is outright absurd.

                                  Beauty. It gives everybody the illusion that they can decide or at least criticize everything. We will end with an unstable system where control becomes impossible and things collapse.

                                    Nazism seem to be the worst since it's an awful mix of nationalism, imperialism, totalitarianism, state racism, eugenics.

                                    A nazi state basically invades its neighbors and genocide their inhabitants based on race, community or health condition.

                                    So far, only the Third Reich applied it, leading to World War II and the Holocaust, but Japan applied some similar behavior in Asia during WWII.

                                    Bonus point: it doesn't even oppose capitalism, so rich people can still greed.

                                      Capitalism is well on its way to making the planet uninhabitable so Imma have to go with that.

                                          The certainty of being right.

                                          Why? Because when (any)one is sure to be right it means the other must be wrong and since they're wrong they probably should not even be allowed to say what they have to say.
