None of the examples given relate to violence. Quashed for being unpopular, immoral, etc. yes. But well out of the definition of hate speech.
I think the definition of hate speech does a pretty good job at highlighting the core issue: no violence. Doesn't mean your message must be popular or in line with the popular views of society at the time.
I can't find a good reason to advocate violence against a group based on blanket criteria. Can you find one? Any of your examples were more about instigating violence against someone or about receiving more rights?
Hate speech is not about violence though. Plenty of countries have laws against incitement to violence without having hate speech laws. Take the United States as an example. Harassment and incitement to violence can still be illegal without hate speech laws. The Cambridge dictionary says this:
>public speech that expresses hate OR encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation
Notice the "or". Simply expressing hate is enough by this definition, which is clearly not violence.
>Doesn't mean your message must be popular or in line with the popular views of society at the time.
Religious people argued in the past that gay marriage is not okay because it goes against their religion. If they had had hate speech laws then they probably would've used them against advocates of gay marriage.
> Simply expressing hate is enough by this definition
But was that definition ever applied as such? I see people arguing that it was but not a single valid example was provided. A case where courts punished someone for promoting hate but no violence whatsoever.
