”Words aren’t harmful…”. Nonsense. If they cannot be harmful, why do they frequently result into violent actions, which when cumulated harm the community? Hurtful words and gestures -> violence -> public unrest -> social norms -> public laws… the causality should be clear enough alright. Even if you don’t like the last part, interference by a central governance, there is a need for social norms incl. their enforcement.

Hate speech is when you hate in speech. Saying it doesn't exist is retarded
