There is no such thing as hate speech

The latent authoritarians are always trying to chip away at out freedom through lawfare or by changing language a la 1984.

Specifically, for the past thirty some years, the left have tried to create a category of hate speech which would be deemed illegal.  The definitions are ambiguous but almost uniformly come down to this:  we want to ban speech by free citizens that might threaten our authority.

It has been a patently absurd argument all along and remains so.  But academia, state agencies and the mainstream media keep pretending that controlled Hate Speech is a real thing.  It is not.

From Yes, hate speech is constitutionally protected by Jonathan Turley.  A useful reminder that just because authoritarians keep wanting to pretend that there is no right to speech with which they disagree, it absolutely remains a base principle of our system of government.  We are now and have always been constitutionally committed to free speech.  All speech.  No matter the passing authoritarian fancies.
