Calling an Israeli Jew like me a Neo-Nazi IS hate speech.
I support the right of people to speak and have a platform to speak.
I also have a right to down-vote it.
Downvoting is not incompatible with free-speech.
It is an exercise of free-speech.

If you only support speech you agree with, then you DON'T support free-speech.
People have the right to express their opinions, even if those opinions are about you.
If you don't want to see their opinions, why not simply "MUTE" them?
Because this Quack is not just expressing opinions I disagree with, he is conducting defamatory, ad hominem attacks on a whole lot of good Hiveans.
If you express an opinion I disagree with I will not downvote.
If you engage in defamatory labelling and personal attacks on valuable members of Hive I will downvote.
For example, there are a small minority on Hive who occasionally engage in Holocaust denial (which I obviously and innately disagree with).
However if it is expressed as an opinion and they are open to it being debunked, I will not downvote, especially if the vast majority of their content is fine.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
But defamatory labelling of people is a personal attack, not an opinion.
Yes, and a personal attack is an ad hominem attack.
WHICH IS AN OPINION.
Just like saying "biden is an idiot" is an OPINION.
Just like saying "trump is an idiot" is an OPINION.
Just like saying "all christians are idiots" is an OPINION.
Just like saying "all muslims are idiots" is an OPINION.
That'd why we are on Hive, to share our individual opinions, and communists may be surprised to find out there is 75 million people at a minimum in North America who would rather WWIII than to subvert their critical attention from the threat of socialism and communism
Tell me about it.
