But what is hate speech anyway? How do you define this term? Is it hate speech to call Nazi's disgusting because of the Holocaust? That's singling out a single group or culture for mocking and derisement. Or saying that Branch Davidianism is a death cult, which is a pretty factual statement. Hate speech laws are ill defined forms of tyranny that are misguided at best, and motivated by fascists eager to censor criticism at worst.

Hate speech is anything that is intended to directly offend an individual for something they cannot control (i.e. race, religion, mental illness, etc.). However, calling the Nazis distusting because of the Holocaust is
not a form of hate speech, as that
wast something they could control. They
chose to torture and kill thousands of Jews, so whenever someone calls their group a pack of animals, or monsters, they are completely justified in doing so. However, if someone to call any
German a Nazi,
that would be considered hate speech, since they would be attacking the entire because of the sins of just a single group.
And my apologies for typing this up so late. I was exhausted all day yesterday, and lacked the brain power to type
anything intelligent up as a result
