Hate speech isn't free speech!
I hate religion...
Whoah whoah whoah, you're hating on a belief I can simply change, that has led to death and oppression for millennia.
How dare you question the purple unicorn lobster!! You will be burned at the stake for your refusal to believe in our irrational fairy tales.
Hate speech has no objective definition.
Language is a social phenomenon, yes.
"Blacks and whites should be equal." Would have been considered hate speech in 1890.
Thankfully your style of rebuttal would be just as tiresome in 1890 as it is in the modern day.
Except I'm 1890 I would have had the weight of academia and public policy behind me.
Tell that the muslims who keep burning pride flags
Okay, sure! Hate speech isn't free speech!
