Hate Speech Is… Speech I Hate--Students Want A National Hate Speech Law...But Can't Define Hate Speech

Students call for national hate speech law…but can’t define ‘hate speech’
"Insanity Wrap would remind you that not being able to clearly define what is legal or illegal is the big fun of modern leftism.

As Ayn Rand warned you in Atlas Shrugged more than half a century ago:

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

Insanity Wrap doubts these college kids have read any Rand — or much else they weren’t spoonfed.
But their ignorance makes them ripe to support the very kind of vague and un-observable laws that Dr. Ferris was speaking of.
Ban hate speech, they’ll agree.
What is hate speech, you’ll ask?
They’ll tell you at your sentencing before the People’s Tribunal, hater.

P.S. The story notes that a “member of former Vice President Joe Biden’s transition team wrote an op-ed in 2019 calling for America to consider enacting ‘hate speech’ laws.”...Read all.
