Any, all and each one of them. The moment you stop looking at how things are, you are finished and set right on the course of bringing unjustified pain and suffering

Not an ideology but I say extremisms, of all kind. Not only religious and political, those are obvious, but also day to day habits.

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.

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.

I'd say monotheism is the real problem.

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.

Edit: Didn't realise the OP was called Allah, lol

yeah that's my middle name, i don't think i can change your mind but i will say this that majority of followers of islam have bad beliefs

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.
