I would support the criminalization of hate speech, certainly - the cult of the freedom of speech doesnt make sense to me really. I am free to act as I wish, but not when I hurt other people - the same logic that applies to any other human action should apply to speech and incitement.
I do not claim that my freedom is curtailed because I am not allowed to strike or attack people I dont like; how can I claim it is when I say things to incite other people to attack, beat, murder, denigrate other people or ethnicity's?
