What an odd straw man. The war on drugs failed because it unrealistically tried to ban all drugs. No one is trying to ban all guns, and no one is trying to ban "all things political." If your entire belief system is lumped in with "hate speech," it's a good signal to reexamine your alignment over crying censorship.

Keep pushing it further until the pendulum swings back and the censorship you are pushing for comes back to bite back in the behind. And I won't be there to defend then. Just yesterday we had a trending post on HN about the censorship of Palestinians. The Palestinians are getting censored under the mask of "anti-semitism" and the Israelis / christians are getting censored under the mask of "islamaphobic". Women not wanting biological men competing in women's sports are being censored under the mask of "transphobic".
