Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws?

Yes. I don’t trust anyone to draw the line on what does or doesn’t count as hate speech.
Now, alls to violence are little more black-and-white. I can see a ban on that.

Calls to violence are already not protected as free speech under the first amendment. Niether is obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial speech such as advertising.

Most of that just protects the ruling class.
