Hate speech is not a well-defined word.

I see that as THE major problem in this debate. But many of the campaigners/influencers/politicians avoid to define it clearly. They try to only discuss whether speech should be free or limited, but they don’t say what it even is.

These are THE DISHONEST ONES among the campaigners!! Some of them try to limit every word you say so only a fine polished meaninglessness remains allowed, and no criticism anymore.

I have no problem with disallowing hate speech according to a most strict and narrow definition: if its purpose is to incite hatred on large scale, like a war or a racial genocide etc.

But all things like a common bar brawl or telling a politician what he is, that must always be free speech.
