Stupidity is funny until it morphs into pointless cruelty

Can you read French? If so, this book is a great thesis against the so-called “folie douce”. The central tenet is that there is no such thing as an innocuous stupid belief (“little folly”). Stupidity and superstitions (which go hand in hand) form a spectrum but we have to fight back against all forms, even the presumably benign ones, before they lead to tremendously harmful outcomes.
