    @Ephera @sovietsnake What’s wrong with hate speech?

    It allows you to expose incompetence at the establishment level. This way the incompetents would see themselves forced to improve. All the crises we are currently going through would miraculously be solved overnight.

      Expressing that a politician is bad at their job is not hate speech. That is an opinion and very much protected by free speech.

      Hate speech is a very specific term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech
      I introduced the term into this discussion, because I assumed, the commenter above me meant that.

        @Ephera Unfortunately, they like to mark anything they don’t agree as hate speech, espionage act, etc. And there have been cases of detainment for shaming the establishment.
