Anything that causes significant physical harm would qualify as assault and is already illegal, so we'll move past that. So is discrimination in the workplace.

Or, maybe provide some evidence that "hate speech" as you've defined it actually takes place in the real world in any way other than one-offs in isolation.

And what the fuck is "intelligentsia?"
