Any particular reason you want to say hate speech?

I don’t, I think hate speech is wrong but we shouldn’t ban or restrict any form of free speech unless it incites immediate lawless action

do you recognize that hate speech commonly leads to unjustified violence?

(an argument can be made that hate speech does indeed incite lawless action, in some cases immediately, in some cases delayed)

The Supreme Court has already established a clear difference between hateful speech and speech that incites imminent lawless action. Just because it “commonly” leads to unjustified violence does not mean the speech itself directly incites such violence
