By “hate speech,” they do not mean threats and criminal harassment. They mean not tolerating speech they disagree with. Call it “intolerant speech.” Of course, those in control establish what will be tolerated or not.  Recent “hate speech” investigations in European countries have been spawned by homily remarks by a Spanish Cardinal who opposed “radical feminism,” a hyperbolic

Two bombs exploded outside a mosque and conference center in Dresden. German authorities say the crime was a “xenophobic” attack. What I want point out the hypocrisy.
