Which is why there shouldn't be hate crimes in the first place. Hate crimes only serve to give a specific group protected status, when most crimes involve hate.

Which is why there shouldn't be hate crimes in the first place. Hate crimes only serve to give a specific group protected status, when most crimes involve hate..as you just described here.
- bdangubic 2y agopossibly. the “spirit” of such legislation is solid - if a group is specifically targeted because something but if we gonna stretch this out to “I hate Elon” (this is 100+ million people in the USA, probably in the billion(s) worldwide) then killing the legislation makes more sense
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Hate crimes only serve to give a specific group protected status I mean that’s literally the point.
- 4ndrewl 2y agoAlthough additionally it's for groups whose members don't choose to be a part of. You can't decide not to be in a protected group the same way you can decide not to join a party or purchase a brand of something.
- treetalker 2y agoIt's all one big game of make-believe in order to justify one group's (the ruler's) use of force and to invalidate the other's (the ruled's).
- mohinder 2y ago> Hate crimes only serve to give a specific group protected status That's not true. There is no specific group of people that is protected. A racially motivated crime only requires that race be part of the motive, not that the victim be a member of a particular race.
