No, there is no such thing like "hate speech".
Society needs Freedom of speech.
Bad speech, or rought speech or hate speech is just bad manners which I also have from time to time.

To be more precise:
There is no such Crime like "hate speech". Making it a Crime is acting against Freedom of speech which is very wrong.
So you oppose labeling speech as “hate,” because you understand how easily that leads to censorship by those in power.
But then you support labeling Bitcoin transactions as “spam,” even when they follow consensus and pay fees, simply because of their content?
It’s the same core issue:
Who gets to decide what’s acceptable in open systems?
In society, it’s supposed to be collective human judgment — not state-enforced definitions.
In Bitcoin, it’s the fee market — not a handful of devs or filtered relay policies.
Open systems self-regulate.
If we start pre-filtering based on fear, optics, or personal values, we’re not protecting freedom — we’re rebuilding the very control structures we claim to resist.
