Do I believe that there is dangerous speech? Absolutely. Do I think this is a "hate speech"? No. What is it exactly? I have been seeing how really bad speech was consider a hate one, now we have moved the post so much that not agreeing with something is already considered "hate speech" which real possibility to become a criminal offense.
This is why, speech should be protected and no, there is no such thing as "hate speech", not if you think about it carefully. Absolutely, there are threats, there are calls for unrest, there are insults. But would it be better if we just call them what they are an treat them accordingly? "Hate speech" to me sounds a lot like "contr-revolution" in Soviet Russia long time ago. Nobody really knew what it meant, but it sure sent a lot of people to Gulag.
