Everyone is free to speak and say anything they want to say. Nobody has ever promised that their speech would also be free of consequemces. That’s the part most people misunderstand.

This is part of why hate speech should be legal. Its not illegal to have shitty opinions and beliefs, so long as you don’t act on them beyond that. I’m also concerned with the governing body deciding what hate speech is. What if “support trans rights” or “end genocide” gets classified as hate speech? As much as it sucks IMO its easier to just let all hate speech be legal and we try to build a social system where that noise just gets drowned out by more positive speech.
