The order of ignorance

I'm curious to how everyone would rank the most misguided people on the planet in terms of stupidity and danger to the planet.

Groups I'm talking about would include;
Theists
Anti-Vaxxers
Racists
Homophobes
Flat Earthers
Pro-Lifers (Or Pro Choice, your call, I won't judge)
Liberals, Conservatives (Your call)

If you have any other ideas, please post and I'll add to the list.
You have the right to believe whatever you like. However, the once you publicize it as fact, you will have to answer a few questions.

Theocrats, religious extremists, and mac fanboys

RCnal

Wouldn't we put theocrats in the same category as Theists? Extremists aren't people who are a part of normal society so I didn't include them.
Mac owners...well, Im typing this from a macbook so I can't really say anything. I like both machines for different functions.

All of those things are potential powder kegs, and all it takes is a spark. Furthermore, all it takes is one extremist from any one of those groups to be extremely dangerous.

That's why it's impossible to compare anti-vaxxers to homophobes, which is what you'd have to do to rank them. Are we talking about the millions of homophobes in Russia or Uganda that kill homosexuals indiscriminately without fear of punishment versus measles, or are we talking about the thousands of homophobes in Canada that might beat up a gay guy for hitting on them versus smallpox?
How can you be sure my refusal to agree with your claim a symptom of my ignorance and not yours?

Its a topic for fun. Don't think too hard on it. your points are very valid though.

Yes, nothing more fun than a conversation which includes religious extremists, homophobia, racism and smallpox.  All my favorite funny, funny subjects.
This sentence is a lie...

People who drink hard root beer.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

You picked up on that did you!
Well, play along either way.

In reaction to life, one can laugh or cry.

Don't do that.

Or both-----at the same time!

Theists are the most dangerous.  And the most dangerous of those are the ones in organized religion.  Organized religion has been the bane of humankind.

All that sugar would give me a fatal hangover.
