    Is calling Epstein island visitors pedos hate speech?

    Seriously, these NPCs give absolutely 0 thought to the negative things brain dead laws like this enable

    …is calling trump supporters Nazis hate speech? That law is gonna have quite a lot of targets if so

      Slippery slope fallacy. Hate crime laws have been on the books in America since 1968 and I’m not aware of them leading to the end of free speech in America.

        The US has hate crime laws. It does not have hate speech laws. A hate crime requires an existing crime. You can legally shout the n-word from the rooftops. If you beat someone while shouting the n-word, your assault is upgraded to a hate crime.
