I think you are missing the point. Racism, bigotry, and white supremacy are all things Stefan is against.
How much of his stuff did you listen to before you came to this conclusion?

"But racism, bigotry, and white supremacy? No. That's hate speech, and IMO, shouldn't covered under the principle of free speech."
There are serious scholars such as Arthur Jensen who have studied the origin of black/white differences in IQ test scores and concluded that a large fraction of the difference is genetic in origin. One can read "Thirty Years of Research of Race Differences in Cognitive Ability" (2005) by Jensen and Rushton https://www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/30years/Rushton-Jense... . To what extent there are racial differences in IQ is a scientific question, not a moral question.
And there are plenty of hot button issues that are certainly debatable. Taxes, abortion, death penalty, universal healthcare, gun rights, etc. I could go on and one. Nobody should ever be silenced or deplatformed for having an opinion on any of these things.
But racism, bigotry, and white supremacy? No. That's hate speech, and IMO, shouldn't covered under the principle of free speech. You can attack ideas in your speech all you want, but you can't attack people for attributes they were born with. Try to be coy all you want about how they're only words, but words incite violence, even without being explicitly violent.
