Yes, its an issue, but I think you'd agree that legislating speech and expression in any way is a slippery slope.

The problem is also that one man's hatemonger is another man's preacher of truth, and what constitutes "hate" is not always objective. Policing speech would be a perfect way for political actors to abuse the law and jail their opponents for wrongthink
- KozmoNau7 8y agoWhen I say "hatemongers", I specifically mean the type of people who call for people to "gas the Jews" or "exterminate all trans people", that sort of direct unequivocal hate and incitement of violence.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoThat surely omits establishment-approved violence like "attack Iraq", "round up criminals", "{legalize|outlaw} abortion" and "[sterilize] transgender children".
