There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only speech.

“Hate speech” can be (and usually is) applied to whatever type of speech the people in power want to silence.

Oh no? Never watched a Hitler speech?

Maybe our censorship is a problem. But I'm damned if I'll be lectured by a yankee, huffing her founding-myth farts, whose "justice" system is literally chattel slavery. Finish your civil war, you dilettantes.
