No Such Things As Hate Speech, Part I

You hear dumb people screaming it all over the networks today, latest excuse for censorship, “Hate speech! Hate Speech!” they always say. They’ve even pushed some governments to think that it’s a real thing, politicos lusting for power are only too eager in helping. A true Orwellian idea, every busy-body’s greatest wish; but there’s no such thing as ‘Hate Speech,’ you’re scum if you think that there is. Free speech has been long protected, and there is good reason for that, public exchange of all ideas is what weeds the good from the bad. Did not free speech allow debate on whether the slaves should be free? Did not the south deem it ‘hateful’ when call on their hypocrisy? Did not it allow Jim Crow’s lash to be dragged out into the light? Can the woke cultists of today be so utterly sure they’re correct? Or with free speech are they afraid that they’re evil might just be next? Because the way they act these days one cruel fact cannot be ignored, had social media existed Abe Lincoln would have been censored. To dare speak out on freeing slaves would have been seen as a real risk; but there’s no such things as ‘Hate Speech,’ you’re scum if you think that there is. Free speech must play the social role of showing uncomfortable truths, like a parent using tough love to impart something to the youth. You say Gender Dysphoria increases chance of suicide, they blather that you are ‘hateful,’ they’d rather let those people die. You point our single motherhood destroys children in the long run, they scream out that you ‘hate women! What’s wrong is a girl has some fun? But school shooters and locked-up cons all seem to come from broken homes, depression, drop-outs, job failure these correlations are well-known. We used to speak about such things, to save our daughters from this fate, now society falls apart because dumb leftists call it ‘hate.’ If it can’t be called to account the destructiveness will persist; there is no such thing as hate speech, you’re scum if you think that there is. CONCLUDES IN PART II.
