"Hate Speech" Does NOT Exist


"If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed." ~ Benjamin Franklin

"That's uncalled for"..."My feelings are hurt by that"...."If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything".... "That offends me"....

Those are examples of legal social censorship, or bullying you to conform ["Your opinion doesn't matter"], someone using legal micro-aggression of censorship on YOU, for voicing, or writing YOUR opinions. Then , usually, when that doesn't silence you, then you're called names...and if that doesn't make you conform, then violence is used against you. Those people have lost the ability to engage in a Socratic debate.

Political Correctness [synonymous with Cultural Marxism] from its inception was designed as a political weapon to silence voices of dissent ... which is why the "New Left" [Democratic party] in the 1970's adopted it and used it ... and that's why, "What is PC"...is ever changing.... PC/Cultural Marxism lends itself so fashionably to easy labels: Trans-phobic, Homophobic, Xenophobic, Racist/bigoted, Uncle Tom, White privilege. All of these are slaps on people with politically incorrect opinions in an attempt to silence those with PC incorrect opinions.

Now the hot new Cultural Marxist label is , "Hate Speech".

"Hate Speech" really doesn't exist. This is just a set of words put together to make people conform to whatever the "Correct" thinking is suppose to be at the moment.

Free Speech , in the United States , is a Constitutional given Right, to protect a persons right to "Say"/"Write" hateful commentary... or really protecting the minorities Right to speak their mind without being bullied into silence by the majority. The legislated line is already drawn at inciting to do harm to another. That, you are not free to say , nor write.

PC/Cultural Marxism creates an inability for you to criticize bad ideas , bad ideologies. Or to criticize what you think is a bad idea or bad ideology.

Touch subject. This would be something that people might debate about.

Welcome to my blog.

People do debate it... and I stand by the constitutional right to say , or write whatever you want, as long as what you communicate is not a call to action, because there are laws prohibiting that kind of speech.

But "Hate speech"? What is that. Well easy answer, it's not "Love speech", or "Like speech", or "Fond of speech".

Do you have a right to hate something, or someone? Yes you do.
Do you have a right to "Speech" about it? ...Yes you do.

Will it might offend someone? ...Yes it might.

Does that mean you should stop? ... No it does not.

Telling someone to shut up is also protected freedom of speech. Only if you have the ability to force people to shut up is it censorship.

Implying that people have mental health problems if they disagree politically is a tool of those who would be your dictator. Words like homophobic, transphobic, islamaphobic etc. are designed to be used to dismiss disagreement as insanity without bothering to address the disagreement with reason. It is a fundamentally dishonest arguing tactic.

For example, I do not agree that effeminate men are actually women. Even if they feel like it, or take hormones and have surgery. This opinion is completely unrelated to any "phobia".

Following my advice may cause injury, insanity, financial loss, hemorrhoids, death and superpowers

I agree. Political correctness has gotten so far out of control it now amounts to censorship, oppression and bigotry.

You need to seek professional mental health help as fast as possible.

You need to explain your reasoning behind that remark.

I am so sick of “PC”, I could puke. I do believe in manners and decorum and respect. I don’t believe in anyone telling me what to think or say.
We are being wussified and under the gun for being controlled.
Oh, shame on me, I said gun. 😱

"If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to slaughter." ~ George Washington
