Maybe I should have clarified a little bit: It's easy to spot hate speech if your moral framework starts with the idea that everyone is entitled to a base level of life and human dignity. I acknowledge that that's not a universal idea. But quite frankly I don't particularly value the opinion of people who disagree with that sentiment.
Moral relevancy is kind of a cop out argument. We don't need literally everyone in the world to agree on something before we start taking action. Advocate for your own opinion, don't hide behind theoretical people across time and space.
Finally, I'm going to flip your argument a bit. You're the one who stated that there's no logical way to identify hate speech, so why don't you provide some examples? What are some things that you've seen identified as hate speech, where you disagree with that assessment?
