I do not really agree that hate is something that needs to be defended. Yes this person can express. And it needs to be accepted that many may not agree on the form of expression on the points you mention. Since critique needs to be accepted in any direction.

I have a big problem with all the self elected free speech defenders that can not live with critique. I refer to people as Elon Musk whom is no more then a rich joke.

Free speech allows you to rebut or revile the ideas. I don't think anyone wants to defend hate, only a person's right to express it, at which point we can marginalize those ideas by expressing better ideas. Allowed to be compete in the open, truth and love always triumph in the end.

Though I must point out, that the ways of truth and love, being gentle, always seem to be losing the moment, but they win in the end.
