Sorry but how is this a case for debate??? This is not a matter of opinion, it's an extremely serious accusation that a foreign government institution caused a global catastrophe of historic proportions. Do you have the type of incredibly solid evidence that would take to back that type of accusation in court?? If you do, then go to court, if you don't then there's nothing to "debate" unless you are shopping for a defamation lawsuit that is what would be a fair and logical consequence to that type of baseless accusation. People abuse free speech because they are not facing the due legal consequences for all the defamation they incur on. But just because it's hard to prosecute so many offenders doesn't make it right or legal.

Ok, but the question is - is it "hate speech"?
And BTW, the President is actively pursuing an investigation into this. It's not some crackpot conspiracy.

When the people who are championing this theory while presenting no evidence happen to also be very pro-white power, yeah it sure sounds like hate speech. Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn’t mean you should go by it.

Have you never heard of the little boy who cried wolf? If 99% of the time when the things you say aren't even lies but just straight up rejection of reality altogether, yes your reputation as a truth teller might suffer.
Apparently now it’s a viable theory but rewind 9 months ago and one could see a hate speech law silencing any debate.
