There has never been, there never should be, and most likely there never will be (no matter how your crowd fights for it) such a thing as wrong speech. At least not outside of totalitarian states.
As long as anyone accepts the concept of wrong speech, anything can be labelled that, and wars can explode over the littlest thing.
