I wasn't meaning him to be venomous, simply that a whole bunch of neo-Nazis and the like (who are truly venomous) would love there to be no hate speech laws whatsoever...
There is always room for argument over particular cases that may lie at the boundary of what is acceptable or not, but there is also clear, straightforward areas where the content simply must be banned. No need to invoke weird conspiracy theories, most people would want the truly poisonous stuff gone from the internet...
I don't think hate speech laws help without a serious optimism bias, and I don't think the lack of them produces hate...
How so?
Why not show me where they helped?
Is there a country that has eradicated racism? How about dimmed it a lot?
How would you demonstrate such a thing?
Most folks can't tell the difference between a joke about race, and racism, so I'm not too worried about it.
My special perspective does make it tough to swallow racist stuff without being a bit reflective.

Quite the balanced, smart position on that conspiracy theory you have there, Hermit. I doubt I'll agree with you, but I understand now why some folks would hide from free speech. It sure looks scary when you describe it that way.

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.
Update: I've been offered one!

It is actually quite easy. A woman has at least one X chromosome.
Strong ideas don't require censorship to survive. Weak ideas cannot survive without it.
