hate speech is just speech, it's already covered by the pyramid imo

some speech, which is calm, logical, backed by evidence, not insults, is called hate speech by many.

I hadn't thought of that. It makes me think that /s/debatealtright is essentially /s/ad_hominem . But this is obviously deemed acceptable hate speech on Saidit, with a genuine interest in validating racist approaches. I would think that kind of discussion should continue, especially if there will be genuine debate about racist topics, which however I never see. Everyone seems to agree in DAR. Such a polite group, unencumbered by non-whites. Not that I want to bother you with any of this. I'm just thinking about DAR.

DAR follows site policy. I encourage you to live and let live. Everyone has the right to communicate with their fellow humans.

I am. My comment is about Ruqqus and hate speech. As you know, I am not trying to change anything.

As I know? You were just trying to convince me that the entire sub of DAR is ad hominem and thus not allowed according to the pyramid.

if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them

I note regularly in my comments that I do not want to change Saidit. (I am here because of the debates and for curiosity. That's it. If you look at PMs from 3 months ago you'll see my PM to you about moderatinng /s/politics, where I noted: "As mentioned to you before, I do not have an agenda to change Saidit, as I want to see what people really think here." If I want something to change, I note it explicitly with: 'there there should not be so much bullying at Saidit', or similar. On the question of hate speech, that's just a question, not a suggestion or recommendation.) BTW - on a slightly different subject - you noted favorite books in the chat recently. I recommend Nietzsche's 'Beyond Good and Evil'. It's not sci-fi, but an interesing read that I think would interest many of us here at Saidit.
