I've noticed a high correlation between people who callously want to ban all sorts of speech and people who just seem completely miserable and think the US is the most awful place on earth.

I would assume this is because you are a WASP with both high income and privilege levels and have never really experienced the fallout of hate speech directed towards you.

Maliciously categorizing someone based on skin color, race, income, social status and religion in an attempt to denounce hate speech.

Poetic
