    Hate crime? What kind of a crime can someone commit absent of all motivated by ill will or hate? There is no universal recognition of such a thing exists. The absence of violent does equate to a peaceful environment.

      If a starving homeless person steals a granola bar, were they motivated by ill will, or were they motivated by hate?

      Tell me, since you seem so confident.

        You are using the specific example of a homeless person for emotiobal manipulation purposes of normalcy bias.

          And you’re using absolutes and complaining when given examples you don’t like. As somehow homeless are a “cheating” for you, less see some other examples.

          • Feed pigeons in the city is a crime in many locations. No ill intent or hate
          • Growing and consuming certain plants (marijuana for example) is a crime in many locations. No ill intent or hate
          • Painting the street is a crime. No ill intent or hate
          • Reporting crimes committed by the government is a crime. No ill intent or hate.
          • Being gay…
          • abortion…
          • fighting authoritarian regimes…

          Do you want me to continue?

            In country where anyone is caught with drugs has their head cut off in ooen public. Anyone caught in the act of homosexuality is publicly hung. A mother who attempts to have her child killed, she herself is killed. You can never fight authoritarian regimes until you decide that it’s better for you to die or be killed in the fight than to let the regime continue. Forget about North America, forget about Europe, pay attention to other places where national governments are holding weekly executions in 2024 for citizens not obeying government mandates.

                I did address it, like you advocating for indiscriminate homocide but not discriminate homocide, only indiscriminate homocide you support.

                  It seems English is not your first or last language, given your comprehension and way of “speaking”.

                  I didn’t advocate for any of this. Those are examples of things that can be crimes in many places, and do not have ill intent or hate.

                    You’re not recognizing the implications of your own words and what the terms you use openly advocate for.
