Hate Speech is protected, it is words that can be considered to cause imminent physical injury action that are not protected. Yelling "Fire!" is protected. Doing it in a crowded theater is not protected. Saying on the phone "I'm going to beat your to a pulp" is protected. When you do it holding a baseball bat, 3 feet away from me, then it is not. Holding an art contest is protected, not only because it is not Hate Speech, it is not Speech at all. It is Freedom of Assembly, if anything.

The Offendotrons have apparently decided that, in their Victimology Culture, our words and our very existence offends them in every way, and causes them imminent physical injury, and so we must be silenced and likely disposed of... imminently.

What if the theater is on fire? Is it okay to say “fire.” This nation is on fire. We keep yelling it is on fire, but we are told that is hate speech.
