there should be no such thing as a hate crime. if it is illegal to beat the tar out of someone, then prosecute for beating the tar out of some one. not for the thoughts of the individual.

It is abundantly clear that this is a totalitarian approach.

Why wouldn't one want all the "inappropriate" thinkers to expose themselves so we know who they are?

👍 Thanks for exposing the irrationality of this attack on individual liberty by the state, Vinay.

Unfortunately, this is no different from the 3 or 4 people that were supposedly going to kill a bunch of people this week. They were arrested for being accused of possibly going to kill people and they had guns and body armor. When did it become a crime, to not hurt anyone. We are on a very slippery slope.

I don't agree with criminalizing emotions. Just actions.
I also think we should get out of the U.N. It never should have been started in the first place.

We have now edged deeply into the "Anthem" concept, there is no I only we. WE must follow the rule and if I diverge I will be punished. One country one court at a time. One look at the UNESCO Constitution say enough.

Controlling the language means you bias the discussion in your favor

The only regulation we need in this country about Hate Speech and "Fake News" is a leader that won't take it.

Old news from April but very powerful, even though nothing has been done about much of it yet:

Not agreeing with the many who call that tiger over there a cow is now a hate crime... Many will be eaten by cows in a not to distant future. Run Away, run away, run away!!

So if you write or speak against a person for “who they are” that’s now hate speech. But if you write or speak against a person for what they believe in or what they do, that can also be considered hate speech because of “who they are.”
That will teach us not to write or speak, or think.

Funny that UNESCO wants to protect against "fake news" but has yet to censor a single article from the Leftist New York Times despite the fact that their editorial bias was exposed last week with direct quotes from their editorial meeting...

I hate globalist satanic luciferian pee doh files and their enablers.

While we’re at it, consider the crime of “depriving an individual of his or her Civil Rights”. Before “hate crimes” this was the tool of the left to get someone they couldn’t convict of an actual crime. I can recall this pretext used many times to go after someone found not guilty of a charged crime or where there was not sufficient evidence to charge an individual. It was done mostly by the Feds, and often where they had no real jurisdiction.

Of course...

Burn the books!- while we're at it...

"Savvy Street" will be the first one to be gagged should this "law" come to pass.

Great article, thanks for your effort.

More of it is needed in this country.

Of course it is.

Who decides what is a hate crime?

For the left everything the right stands for is of "hate". That is the reason there is no dialogue between the two.

This follows from the left's projection of characterizing the right in a despicable light for things that the left is engaged in. It is a vicious circle that if you engage in, can't come out as a winner.

It is one of the methods the left is perfecting in its insatiable drive for power.

Beautifully written.
Thank you.
