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

Yes.
They should be encouraged to say whatever they want to say.
What they really want isn’t freedom of speech but freedom from consequence. And that’s something they shouldn’t have.

When is freedom of speech ever not equivalent to freedom of consequences from said speech?

Consequences as in the government punishing someone, and consequences as in people mocking and ostracizing someone aren’t the same thing. Just as the person who said something has the right to say that thing, other people have the right to for example not watch that person’s show anymore.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to ask, sorry.
