hate speech

Nope: unless you're arguing people are mindless automatons who must act on whatever message they're exposed to, people can be expected to self-control.

    Hate speech directly affects and impacts the parties targeted, regardless of whether anybody else is influenced by said speech.

    Are you saying if you listen to hatespeech all day, then you feel compelled to commit violent acts? Or are you saying you need to lock others away for speech that merely offends you?

    If the former, then maybe you need to be locked up. If the latter, then you need help working on your authoritarian tendencies begging for a thought police.
