Hate speech is pretty much worthless. It does nothing to help get to the truth and imposes on others in society.

One of the main purposes of freedom of speech is to uphold the truth so that your rulers can't oppress you, stifle whistleblowers of their corruption and maintain rule.

Considering the state of America, freedom of speech has never really been around. It's always been manipulated or suppressed by the government. They don't need silence everyone, only people whose voices have a far reach or can do damage (like Gary Webb, Epstein, Ulfkotte, Palfrey, Hastings, JFK, Malcolm-X, MLK, Fred Hampton, etc.).

As soon as you carve out such an exception, everything the regime does not want you to say and everything which is inconvenient to their narrative gets shoved into that excepted category:

There's no conceivable way a million people could have been killed in this building.

Hate speech, go to jail.

Immigrants inevitably lower wages while driving up the cost of living.

Hate speech, go to jail.

Men aren't women.

Hate speech, go to jail.
