Ricky Gervais Exposes The "Two Catastrophic Problems With The Term 'Hate Speech'"

Zerohedge
Outspoken British comedian Ricky Gervais has once again exposed, in his usual direct manner, the escalating use of the term "hate speech" to crush any dissenting view from the mainstream narratives has unleashed "a new weird sort of fascism." 
Critically, Gervais sees two catastrophic problems with the term ‘hate speech’:
"One, what constitutes hate speech? Everyone disagrees. There’s no consensus on what hate speech is.”
Two, who decides? And there’s the real rub because obviously the people who think they want to close down free speech because it’s bad are the fascists. It’s a really weird, mixed-up idea that these people hide behind a shield of goodness."
Additionally, 'The Office' star points out that “social media amplifies everything."
