Bread and Roses: A Leftist Case Against Hate Speech Laws in Japan shingetsunewsagency.com

A national hate speech law was passed in 2016, but with no penalty for infractions.
But hating hate speech isn’t the same as agreeing that it should be regulated under the law.
The contrary is also true: opposing such a regulation does not mean I support hate speech.
Regulating hate speech in a superficial way without seeking the cause of hate speech and hate in the first place is like playing whack-a-mole.
Can shutting down those who spew hate speech and making them the victims of oppression/suppression really solve the problems of racism?
