hate speech
One of the most counter-productive inventions ever devised.
Upper class: Pays the fine, "resigns"(fired) and gets a new job from his buddies aka. doesn't give a shit,
Middle class: Pays the fine, gets fired and might have to step down a few levels in their climb towards the upper classes strata it might lead to divorce and stuff like that aka. severe blow and loss aversion keeps future speech in line.
Lower class: Loses a big chunk of economic status, and his job. He becomes "radicalized" seeking righteous retribution against the law which he has lost respect for. This lack of respect extends to the entire status quo. In this vulnerable state anything that he perceives as violating his dignity will further radicalize him.
Abolish "hate speech", "hate crime" and any other specific legislation that divides the population by validating the de-individualizing labels. They only reaffirm these labels and serves as a reminder: "This is forbidden to say, and this crime becomes worse if you have a forbidden motive for it"
Example: If some gay man is murdered because he was gay, then it is not worse than an ordinary murder.
The same goes for speech, incitement to violence and threatening anyone is already illegal, giving certain labels(jews, gays, muslims, christians, women etc.) special treatment is self-defeating.
WTF happened to equal treatment before the law!
