It goes by many names, and I just see a lot of bias against the use of the word hatespeech, and I have to wonder if the focus on it is because it serves a politcal agenda.
Free speech applies to everyone, including those that think something is hate speech.
I'm not sure what political agenda you're referring to?
I agree that free speech applies to everyone. It's fine if somebody wants to call something hate speech. I just think if you do that, you should explain why you believe it is hate speech, so the other party can then explain why they think it isn't hate speech. Anyone can say whatever they want, the only problem I have is when people use that to shut down conversation so they don't have to explore a premise being offered. I think we would agree on that point, but I could be mistaken.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
