I've had it with framing people as "dangerous". Dangerous to who, dangerous how? There's this weird meme in some circles branding everybody who's influential and has ideas that don't fit said circle's ideas as "dangerous", it's such an aggressive choice of words. Why can't we just call them stupid? Or malevolent even? "Dangerous", to me, suggests they're Hitler (/ Stalin / your circle's bad person du jour) incarnate. You can disagree with someone vehemently without all the vitriol and fearmongering.
