21. So inciting violence against individuals or majorities is OK?
Inciting violence is either right or wrong, regardless of the object of that violence.
Expressing hate is either incitement of violence or not, regardless of the object of the hate.

How do you get a consistent system where expression hate against an individual is not considered equivalent to incitement of violence against that individual, but where expression hate against a minority group is considered equivalent to incitement of violence against that group?
