> Speech is far more political than a negligence case. You really can’t expect to apply the same methodology and have it work just as well.
I really don't see why that would make a difference.

Well, I have given you a definition that has been working quite well in Germany for decades.

Which is why nobody is proposing to ban "unpopular things".

Can you name a single person that "woke mob" has killed? Because I can name dozens upon dozens of people killed by people radicalized on the internet through things that could be curbed by sensible laws such as the one I referred to.
> They don’t like free speech and I guarantee you that if we implemented hate speech laws people will fight to enshrine their ideologies into law.
Yeah, and others will fight to have the laws differently. That's called democracy.
The rate of male suicide is over 3x higher than women. In 2020 white males accounted for 70% of suicides.
Do you think that’s because white men just looooove to kill themselves? Or perhaps it’s at least partly because men receive zero support because the woke mob hates them?
Meanwhile we have woke individuals like yourself focusing on a small number of violent acts performed by the most extreme individuals.
Where’s your empathy for the vast, vast majority who don’t commit these violent acts?
Also, did it ever occur to you that male suicides and those violent acts you mentioned are linked? Call me crazy but perhaps we are seeing male pain and suffering expressed in different ways. Violence pointed inwards and some pointed outwards.
And your solution is to take these hateful ideologies and enshrine them into law? Because, again, that’s exactly what will happen.
I really don't see why that would make a difference.
