Some example of alleged hate speech…
– Some Christians and Muslims have accused me of “hate speech” for calling their religion out as myths.
– Some Greek leftists smear me as a “fascist” because I criticize their views on sundry issues.
– Some extreme right Greeks accuse me of being “antihellenic” because I won’t support their fascism (of the real variety not smear type)
– Some Palestinians here claimed I support “jewish supremacists” because I wouldn’t support their insane positions to erase Israel. Grisha Luba on this very website did the opposite,, He claimed I support Hamas and was antisemetic because I criticize his Kahanist views and support a two-state solution.
– Some former Yugoslavians claim I am a “Nazi” not because I oppose them having a state but because I refuse to recognize them as “Macedonians” and their obvious fake history. Some of their foreign apologists smear Greeks like me as a “nationalist’ and “far right” for similar reasons. The Antihellenic founders of the Hellenistic period? Seriously?.
I recently had a debate with some super woke trans people. I support their right to identity as they wish but some of them freaked because I also pointed out that others also have rights and shouldn’t be coerced into trans world view. I use their pronouns to be polite much like I usually am polite to religious people. One doesn’t have to turn every interaction with another human being we disagree on some issue into a political debate. This doesn’t mean when I see someone with a shlong that claim to be a woman I see a woman. I see a man role playing.
And so on.
I’m pretty sure many, if not most, have been accused of hate speech by someone. I consider myself an extremely tolerant person. Just like others want to have their freedom for their narratives. I have the same right to mine. If someone ingrains hate speech into law not only will those “hate speech” laws run the risk of slippery slope to many more laws that stifle free speech, you start to stifle reality. Your might even get arrested for claiming a man is a man.
