How does it necessarily amount to hate speech? One could deny the holocaust, for example, because one is a solipsist and believes that no humans apart from one exist. Since every other human, and by corollary the jews, are solely a figment of one's imagination, no one was ever killed, which means as a corollary there was no holocaust.
What, you're going to ban solipsism now?

- littletimmy 11y agoI don't see how it connects to what I've said.
- Mithaldu 11y agoYou asked "How does it necessarily amount to hate speech?" In it i attempt to answer that question. The rest of your post really does not bear much more addressing other than that "holocaust denial" has a range of forms, and what you described does not fall under it.
- littletimmy 11y agoDespite the fact that I present a straightforward way to deny the holocaust without having any hate speech in it? You seem to be assuming your conclusions.
- Mithaldu 11y agoI'm saying that the scenario you proposed does not fall under the laws (particularly of my own country) that govern restrictions regarding holocaust denial.

- fit2rule 11y agoSolipsism is a very good argument, well done. Now try to work out why one culture would want to have its history forced upon another, by the State, and you will have covered the spectrum in just a few steps ..
