Hate speech is a way of dominating & monopolizing the conversation:
- It removes the possibility of polite, congenial dialogue.
- No productive discussion can happen until it is removed, b/c one party is only *pretending* to be there for dialog but is only there for broadcasting. Hate speech is a weapon being used to shut down political discourse -- under the guise of promoting it.

It's a kind of false flag operation -- a strategy of war disguising itself as "legitimate political discourse."
