Decolonization

Very strongly agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

Increasing penalties for hate speech is in line with decolonization goals of actively dismantling structures and expressions of racism, discrimination, and colonial legacies. It represents a proactive stance against the perpetuation of harm and inequality.

Strongly agree

No

From a decolonization perspective, not protecting hate speech aligns with the effort to dismantle systemic inequalities and address the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism. It recognizes the need to create safe spaces for marginalized communities and to challenge the structures that perpetuate discrimination.

Agree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While protecting criticism of the government is crucial for any movement challenging oppressive structures, including decolonization, limiting freedom of speech protections exclusively to this domain does not address the broader spectrum of hate speech and its impacts on marginalized communities. However, it does align with the decolonization emphasis on challenging authority and oppressive systems.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

While this stance acknowledges the potential harm of hate speech, it still permits a broad range of harmful expressions as long as they do not explicitly threaten violence. Decolonization efforts often argue for a more comprehensive approach to addressing speech that can perpetuate harm or inequality.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Although skepticism of government power is understandable, especially from a historical perspective where colonial governments suppressed dissent, the decolonization ideology would likely argue that not trusting the government to define hate speech could allow harmful narratives to persist unchecked, which can perpetuate colonial legacies of oppression.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Decolonization ideology often emphasizes the harm that can come from oppressive speech, particularly how colonial legacies are perpetuated through language and narratives that demean or dehumanize marginalized groups. Protecting hate speech without restrictions is seen as allowing the continuation of colonial attitudes and power imbalances.
