For the record; I do not hate Nazi’s, I do not hate Fascists, I do not hate Imperialists, I do not hate Socialists, I do not hate Communists, nor do I hate Muslims. However, I do hate murder and slavery and it is not my fault that all these cults use, and are synonymous with, the two things that I will always hate the most.
We hear a lot today about ‘hate’ from those posturing for claims of the pretense to the high ground on moral superiority. This concept has even crept into our legal system as ‘Hate Crimes’ in a legal hate theory that has little supporting evidence. At the core of this theocracy about hate is the argument that killing someone at random, or for love, is somehow different than killing someone for hate even though all these crimes have the same result – a murder. While the law does try to make such distinctions, the notion that we can know the mind of a killer, or even their motivation, is fallacious because people often lie. Indeed the silliness of hate crime legislation is demonstrated by a killer claiming that they murdered out of love – which requires an illogical redefinition of both love and hate.
Attached to this faulty notion and fallacious theories of hate equivalence are claims that murders are caused by hate speech. Laws about ‘hate’speech can now encompass most speech since almost anything, one could ever say, might be construed as hateful by someone else. Banning speech to prevent murder is like disarming police in Franceto protect murder victims. Hatred, expressed or not, simmers until violence explodes even as the killers claim love as their motivations. Thusly do Muslims express their love of Muhammad and Allah by killing unarmed cartoonists who; used ‘hate’ speech, or drew a ‘hate’ cartoon, or read a ‘hate’ article (about killer Muslims who murdered millions of Christians in the twentieth century during the Assyrian,Darfur and Armenian genocides).
I am criticized by a few who claim I will make the Muslims insane and drive them to more murder by committing my ‘hate’ crime of telling the truth. For the record; I do not hate Nazi’s, I do not hate Fascists, I do not hate Imperialists, I do not hate Socialists, I do not hate Communists, nor do I hate Muslims. However, I do hate
and it is not my fault that all these cults use, and are synonymous with, the two things that I will always hate the most.
