I'm continually amazed how much people fall for language manipulation."Hate speech" is almost always speech the powerful want silenced. And, what kind of speech do the powerful censor?
* The truth whenever it is inconvenient to them
* speech that threatens their power
* speech that hampers their agendas
Just about everyone who decries "hate speech" is actually perfectly fine with it, as long as it is directed towards the people they themselves hate. Here is one example: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1523476586330136576 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1523476586330136576
The offender, Caroline Reilly, called for literal genocide on Twitter, and was never censored! You can't get more hateful than that. I wish I knew how to wake people up to the fact that "hate speech" laws are nothing but a power grab for the already-powerful.
