Yep, it's human nature if things are allowed to get bad enough. If hate speech is allowed to go unchecked.
This experience had shown me freedom of speech cannot survive in the 21st century. There has to be major consequences for spreading hate, or else you get a nation of brainwashed people calling for civil war over completely fabricated and imagined transgressions. It's not just the US. You can see signs of it in every developed western country that doesn't clamp down on speech. The UK is an insane mess of propaganda and idiocy right now as well, just not anywhere near the level of the US yet. Same with a large part of Europe.
The US is the one that the elites actively used it to poison their own population so they can steal as much as humanly possible for themselves. Look at all of the legislation republicans have passed since Fox News and social media took hold and went in this direction. Not a single piece of it has actually helped any regular Americans. It's all been about tearing down regulations preventing monopolies, ripping apart the American social safety net, and racking up tens of trillions of dollars in deficit spending only to funnel all of that money in to the pockets of the billionaires.
It's the world's largest shell game. Get you looking over here while they screw you over there. And "we the people" are too stupid to recognize it.
Going forward the only countries that will thrive are ones that put major restrictions on speech and the internet. Eventually every society around the globe will do it and democracy will mostly die out because this isn't sustainable. Of course it won't only be hate speech that is banned, it will be all manner of speech that goes against the ideals of the ruling government.
