Hate speech doesn’t apply to the President of the United States, and you have to truly twist the meaning to get it to apply to your political affiliations. You’re not born with those, to make an oversimplified argument.
- m0zg 6y agoSo if I were to, hypothetically, call for Nancy Pelosi to be hanged in public or shot, would it, or would it not be "hate speech" in your opinion? Should it or should it not be allowed? Is it OK, for example, to chant "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon"? Is it OK to suggest to "kill all cops"? Is it OK to say that "all cops are bastards"? Because it would literally take you seconds to find examples of such things on FB or twitter.
- sharkjacobs 6y agoYour point is falling flat because you don't understand the definition of the term you're talking about. "hate speech" isn't just speech which communicates the speaker's hatred of something. "hate speech" is "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation".[1] [1]https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hate-speech https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hate-spe...
- m0zg 6y ago> Your point is falling That's just like your opinion, person of indeterminate gender Would "kill white men" or a book about "Black Fragility" qualify? I'm more of a fan of the Merriam Webster definition: "speech expressing hatred of a particular group of people". Short, sweet, unambiguous as to what "something" means in the definition you've provided.
