Classical Liberalism

Very strongly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

This answer aligns well with classical liberalism's emphasis on individual freedom and limited government intervention. Classical liberals would likely agree that hate speech should be protected by the First Amendment, as long as it does not threaten violence or pose a direct threat to public safety. This position is consistent with the Supreme Court's ruling in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), which established the 'imminent lawless action' test for determining when speech can be restricted.

Strongly agree

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

Classical liberalism is skeptical of government power and seeks to limit its influence on individual liberties. This answer reflects that skepticism, as classical liberals would be wary of allowing the government to define the boundaries of hate speech. They would likely argue that such power could be abused and lead to further restrictions on free speech.

Agree

Yes

Classical liberalism values individual freedom and limited government intervention. While it supports free speech, it also recognizes the potential harm of hate speech. However, classical liberals would generally lean towards protecting speech, even if it is offensive, as long as it does not incite violence or pose a direct threat to public safety.

No

Classical liberalism emphasizes the importance of individual liberties, including freedom of speech. Restricting hate speech would be seen as an infringement on these liberties. While classical liberals may not condone hate speech, they would likely oppose government intervention to regulate it.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

This answer is in direct opposition to the principles of classical liberalism, which values individual freedom and limited government intervention. Increasing penalties for hate speech would be seen as an infringement on individual liberties and an overreach of government power.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer is also in direct opposition to the principles of classical liberalism. Limiting freedom of speech protections to only cover criticism of the government would severely restrict individual liberties and go against the core values of classical liberalism, which seeks to protect a wide range of individual freedoms, including the freedom to express opinions on various topics.
