    The majority of developed nations have laws against hate speech; the United States is a notable outlier in this capacity.

    I think it has been a significant contributor to our current trajectory toward fascism.

      Right now the current leadership is using “hate speech” as a way to penalize anyone vocalizing their dislike of Charlie Kirk. It’s a double edged sword.
