As i understand it, that's only one possible interpretation of the law there against hate speech, not one that (AFAIK) has actually been implemented.
As I understand it, it has already been implemented. And the fact that it could even be questionable is disconcerting to me.
because inevitably any edifice we create to solve this problem will become a problem in itself.
Exactly. All it does is change the perpetrator.
But people who are being beaten, harassed, and discriminated against cannot afford to wait for the great utopian society to come about. We need to protect ourselves.
Then that is what our laws should address. And even discrimination laws make me uneasy. When it is public money, I am fine with it, public money should not be favoring one political ideology or demographic over another. But when they begin to be enforced in the private sector, or be applied to what can enacted in the public sphere outside of public funding, then I am worried.
