- raxxorrax 7y agoWhat problems does a law that forbids hate speech solve? My country has strong provisions against hate speech but has countless problems with radicalization anyway. It is also far more likely to succumb to fascism compared to America. I believe advocates of these laws just want to quench dissent, since hate can be defined as anything.
