Everything Is Hate Speech
There are a lot of people who make the argument, that there is big difference between free speech and hate speech, and call for the latter to be banned or censored. I personally believe that placing any limitation on speech fundamentally changes it to no longer being free. The only only gray area regarding this that I am willing to concede is speech that directly calls for the act of violence against someone. This current issue of the "Learn to Code" is the perfect example of why we should fight against banning what people say.
If you don't know, quite recently there has been some major lay offs of journalists, and because it's 2019 they all tweeted about as you do. They got quite a big response back from the more politically right leaning folks, mainly with the #LearnToCode, obviously the now unemployed journalists really didn't like this. They even went as far as to appeal to Twitter calling these tweets abusive behavior, and anyone tweeting this actually had their account suspended Twitter.

Well the irony and ultimately the hypocrisy of this story is, about two years ago just before Trump became president, he made an appeal to the America workers who had lost their jobs due to factories moving to places like China and also folks working in the mining sector. There were coal miners, who had their factories shut down because of the constant Hollywood elites advocating that everyone else stop using fossil fuels, but not them flying private plans to guest speak at global warming seminars. Many of these people had lost their jobs due to legislation the government had passed directly making it harder for these factories to keep their doors open. This was when Trump started running, and told middle America that he would fight to bring back factory jobs to these people. The media lashed out, told him that these jobs were prehistoric, they said that these factory workers needed to adjust to the times, they got a little hashtag semi trending, can you guest what it was? Yes, it was #LearnToCode. Funny how it's fine to use when other people are loosing their jobs, the journalists can be mean and abusive, but when the exact same tweet is used back on them, they run to the closest grownup and bitch, now it's considered hate speech. This illustrates why we should preserve all speech and why it all should be free, because who gets to decide what and when is considered hate speech. Those who call for the banning or censoring or speech is always the person with the gun in the room, it's also called authoritarianism or fascism.
"I am absolutely opposed to political correctness. You cannot confront hate speech until you've experienced it. You need to hear every side of the issue instead of just one." - Jane Elliott
