I haven't yet found a definition online for hate speech that doesn't include merely expressing hatred or dislike for a certain group.
I'm in complete agreement with Seriati. When it comes to the actual crimes, and not just hurt feelings, the laws are already in place to punish wrongdoers without hate speech legislation.
So, funny story from over here in England. The UK has some really disgusting hate speech laws. You really can be imprisoned just for offending someone.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_the_United_KingdomSo, a few months back there is this Arab woman working at a university in London. Said woman is an SJW extraordinare, and before long she's started a club that expressly forbids white males from attending. She got some unwanted attention for this, and in response she took to Twitter, posting tweets that included the opinion that all white people just needed to die.
In a shocking twist, someone actually reported her to the police, and she was arrested on hate speech charges. Naturally, the left only meant for this law to be used against whites, and were very upset that poor Bahar Mustafa was charged. A few days ago, the charges were quietly dropped.
Is anyone really surprised by this? For extra credit, can anyone guess in which manner Pyrtolin is going to argue that this no whites club and call for genocide isn't hate speech and racism?
