    Neither do I, which is why I support not allowing hate speech because the end goal is always violence or the threat of violence whether the people spewing it are conscious of it or not. The lame hateful racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic jokes that punch down at stereotypes are an advertisement for an ideology of hate (like a lightbulb for moths) and a test to see if that hate will be allowed to flourish in a community.

      I disagree that the end goal is always violence. And I think what constitutes “hate speech” is subjective and cannot be fairly enforced.

        Power is the end goal. Violence will be used when no more power can be obtained by legal and nonviolent means.
