Some of the examples quoted are a bit extreme (some seem normal to me, calling for soldiers to die is nasty).
The main thesis of the article seems to be that hate speech is by definition a right wing phenomenon, so by definition shouldn’t apply to progressive statements, even if they are extreme. Well... really?
- amadeuspagel 6y agoThe thesis of the article is that hate speech laws shouldn't exist. The author tries to reach left-wingers by pointing out examples of hate speech laws being used against left-wingers, because he's writing for a left-wing website and left-wingers are the main advocates of hate speech laws today.
