> Hate speech IS violence.

speech is not violence, no matter how many times this lie is repeated.

This year I've heard that both speech and silence is violence...so you can't win either way with some people.

Unless you say exactly what they want ;)

Which might work, until "what they want" moves. (They also get you in trouble for things you said in the past...)

I love how you're being downvoted for what is obviously and objectively true.

I'd wager that there's a not insignificant group of Americans that actually think hate speech is illegal (hint: it isn't).

he's being downvoted because he didn't get the obvious sarcasm.
