    Not sure we have the same definition of the simplistic buzzword “hate”. Should it be against the law to hate (intensely dislike) someone? Seems like a basic human right to me. If you mean hate to mean discriminate against someone based on their race or murder/assault them regardless of racist motives, then I agree. However, those are illegal acts punishable by law and not allowed in society. The flagrantly inaccurate usage of common words and/or attempts to change or expand their meaning (given there are pre-existing words in language) is making it more difficult to communicate and is usually a sign of a weak argument.
