Reasons to Hate, Hate Speech
I hate, hate crimes for two reasons. Firstly, for obvious reasons… and secondly are the dangerous precedence it presents by assigning limits to speech. Stopping hate crime is far more dangerous than simply hearing unpleasant utterances. Having the power or resources to stop “hate” must be synonymous with tyranny–the 20th century is my proof.
The problem that nobody ever seems to question is something quite obvious–who gets to define hate? The person doing that job is going to be the last person you’d want doing so because of its psychopathic exploitative potential. This isn’t setting the rules for a shirts & skins basketball game, it’s policing the terms that are acceptable in our most fundamental right & purpose in life–communication & thought.
State Control
Censoring all displeasure can only lead to problems–when you’re drifting off course, it’s important to be told so, otherwise everybody crashes. It’s impossible to improve if nobody can critique policy, data, and ultimately scientific results. A society of constant paranoia such as the former Soviet Union or present day China or North Korea is always the end result. Give an inch [of freedom] and they [the state] take a mile.
Even if there wasn’t the first amendment, it still makes sense for all parties to be able to speek as freely as possible. The bad (or hateful) ideas lose out, and the good, enticing, interesting ideas flourish. But without hearing ALL ideas, we can never guarantee that we are accepting all the best ideas. I’m reminded of an Irish comedian who has a skit who says “So what? Be offended… nothing happens… It’s not like you are offended, go to sleep and wake up with leprosy… nothing happens…”
Of course, the state knows this– it’s simply a crux for them to squash dissent as they rape civil liberties, sever the importance of constitutional law and rob the treasuries of the world. If you think about it for a moment, if everything is fine, you shouldn’t have dissidents in the first place–I don’t see people very upset with life in Monaco, Cayman Islands or St Barts. They just do it under the guise of “being nice to arabs, jews, blacks” or whoever is arrogantly deemed as “needing support & supervision”.
It’s a clever crafted term because on the surface it sounds like a good thing–What, you ‘enjoy’ hateful phrases uttered?–you must be a hateful person! Nobody would willingly agree to be a hateful person, so they haphazardly comply to its implementation into the English language (and law!).
Not everyone is a friend
Plus, believe it or not, it’s important to hear hate speech on an interpersonal level. If everybody is masked in a figurative sense (or I guess literal sense now…) than you never truly know what you’re going to get from someone. Your friend may be your enemy, but how would you know? How can you trust anybody who is always neutral or nice with you? Where does respect, trust and integrity come from in this type of society? It’s much better for everyone to know how others feel about them so everyone is guided appropriately. Some behaviour deserves hate, and for this to be acknowledged.
Another Reason…
I lied, I actually have a third problem with the term “hate speech”
It weakens the psyche of individuals. As OnTheBall Travels experiences the world, you find all that great things but also the matters that are hateful, brutal, & terrifying. There’s starvation, disease, theft, murder, rape, war, homicide, babies are born deformed, overdoses, people drown at the beach, people become homeless, not to mention the endless bloodbath of history–the world is a very difficult and challenging place to survive let alone thrive. But we, as individuals can’t do all that much about the challenges of life. Nature decided it’s a eat or be eaten world–so if we can’t change this, would you rather be a tough, resilient presence in the world or a feeble, helpless, emotionally weak one? Relegating people to be upset with “hate speech” forces them into the latter category. Their sensitivity guarantees their lack of success in a challenging & competitive world.
If you take time to observe, you’ll find that every accusation of “hate speech” is nothing compared to exact state of the world. Look at the recent Israel/Palestinian conflict (for years and years)–some of these individuals truly hate each other & cheer upon each others’ terrible deaths. Many pockets of the world in active war and others are concerned about pronouns. It’s better to rise above it than to let anyone get to you–cause someone (the state) will eat your future self alive.

It’s not just something you hear on woke campuses
I want to show you how it is actively being used to the United States, a place that supposedly still has the right to bear arms and a legally protected right of freedom of speech. I heard a joke the other day, “It’s great that we have the constitution, it really stops the government from doing those fucking horrible things it does to us everyday!”
“Federal law bars nearly all people with felony convictions from having guns, but many hate crimes are mis-demeanors—meaning that, under federal law, many people who commit violent acts and are convicted of hate crimes may still be legally armed. This is a problem. Fortunately, half of the states have acted to prohibit these individuals, either by making their convictions into felonies or by extending their gun laws to reach hate crimes” <–This has been taken from an anti-gun statist organization. If you’ve seen On The Ball’s recommendations for you, you’ll see that Bezmenov’s quote of “most of this is done by Americans, to Americans”–spot on.
According to their estimates, there’s 25,000 “hate crimes” using a firearm everyday (you know, as opposed to the rest of gun crimes used in loving ways or not hateful ways). How many of these are simply described as “acts of hate” to justify the further encroachment on ones’ rights? You must recall the mandates of swabbing deceased individuals to see if had Covid (using a bogus test) to keep the Covid numbers up and the fear train moving. Struck by lightning? Doesn’t matter, died of Covid. It can and will be turned any which way the state wants.
Want to know the states who have hate speech laws against gun ownership?
Again, HALF of the states have adopted this policy. Many “red” states too–Freedom you say?
& I’m only considering one application here… although I think it speaks volumes given that one amendment is being weaponized against another, literally the first two written.
Closing
Hate Speech is one of the greatest threats to free speech and open dialogue. Limiting dialogue guarantees a society whereby true progressiveness grinds to a halt as everyone becomes paranoid of speaking against the narrative. Hate speech is a direct attack on individual expression and provides a feeding ground for further state control.
To show how pervasive this is in the United States, I wanted to show that this extends beyond just some yelling commie college kids. Hate speech laws are actively used in roughly half of the United States with respect to gun rights, a significant topic. Anyone who strays adrift from the acceptable narrative runs the risk of losing their right to defend their body and private property. Many still champion the United States as the most free country on Earth, but I beg to differ.
