This is why we have a 1st Amendment. Hate speech legislation is simply a tool used by some to suppress views they disagree with. Note this Swede wasn’t calling for violence. He was simply stating his opinion that may or may not be correct as a generalization regarding Somalis in Sweden. Regardless, there is no end of government control over people once they can punish someone for saying something “offensive.” It opens the door to totalitarianism.

Yes but they are getting around 1a with hate speech bs. Because who’s the moral arbiter on that? One persons hate speech is another persons observation. One persons inconvenient truth is another’s actual unabashed truth.
