“Hate speech isn’t free speech” is a ridiculous argument because “hate” is a constantly moving goalpost and subjective to whoever is offended.
What’s “hate” for one person is truth to another.
Indeed intriguing question. Complicated one, right?
Wrong!
One doesnt base the observation on one post. It is simple, actually.
Take participants of the original Trump / Biden discussion, for example.
Do they like each other - No.
Are their posts always factual based with the link to source? - No.
Do they often insult each other ? Yes
Do they have the tendency to try and find a common for the problem rather than stress the differences? - No.
But!
Do you feel they actually hate each other?
I do not! Dislike yes, but not hate.
Read stripfan posts, bunch of them.
Consider selection, consider where his quotes are from, tags on Twitter he follows.
The guy is a pure hate and nazi
Posting many times during the day, around the clock... like no life.
I was thinking he is Russian hired Troll (there are many) as not once he has shown
Putin simpathy...
Maybe Palectinian decendant? No, those are more Israel targeted and there are Jews in Canada supporting them. They can not be so dumb.
No, he is exactly like nazi, targeting Jews whenever they are, not as individuals, but as "the kind," praising Hitler "final solution" not once.
To conclude:
Arguing - ok, promoting hate - not ok, and yes, can be prosecuted even in the current law. He and those like him.
