Yes. The government CANNOT have the right to infringe on our ability to speak. Unequivocally. No exceptions. No authority figure can be trusted to define hate speech.
@9KFBDW3Conservative1yr1Y
The boundaries of hate speech are too hard to define broadly so course of action must depend on context.
@8T3T55PConservative4yrs4Y
I think the question is fuzy in that there are law restricting freedom of speech already. Like inciting violence or a call to action are crimes, but hate speech in general is used to restrict freedom of speech by arbitrary calling things hate speech like neo nazis. Either they directly incited violence or it’s free speech. If a nazi want to say stupid things they should be free to even though it’s wrong and stupid obviously
Yes, because anyone can say something is hateful when taken out of context. Especially atheists towards Christians.
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech and as long as it does not threaten violence. Free speech is also typically only to protect you from criticizing the government
@8ZX3GXZConservative3yrs3Y
Depends on the definition of hate speech
@9CBVFG6Conservative2yrs2Y
No, man up and just take it
@8TB25RYConservative4yrs4Y
yes, hate speech isn't a real crime
@2HN4HSX5yrs5Y
Yes, all speech is protected.
@heatherdvdprincess5yrs5Y
Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech, and people say stupid things and shouldn't have the government get involved for it. Encouraging violence should be regulated, but not expressing hate.
@ambaalamps5yrs5Y
yes. there is no "hate" speech, there is only speech.
