Then do you also understand that politicians push ideas like hate speech because they seek to gain the power to censor those that threaten their power?

You see, both sides in the US cry to daddy government to fix all their problems or stop the other side. They are both building the monster we call the state. Giving it more power over our everyday lives. They both lie. They care about their privileged lives and gaining wealth and power. They do not care about the people. They do not care about defending whatever. They care about votes. They say what they think they need to say to get power.

Its all in the incentives.
