    That’s the same as the other example someone gave…

    Fascists calling something hate speech so we stop talking about their fascism.

    Why does this work on so many people?

    What logic are you using that this means we can’t use the term “hate speech” anymore?

      I specifically said to continue using it. Right wingers using it for right wing goals doesn’t mean that it’s inherently bad or something. Labeling things hate speech is a useful tool, but don’t trick yourself into thinking your opponent can’t use it.
