Official narrative
The idea of "hate crime" and "hate speech" goes back to the 1960s.[1] A "hate crime", according to Wikipedia as of April 2019 is "(also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime[1]) is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group or race." It notes that "term "hate crime" came into common usage in the United States during the 1980s." Such crimes are particularly heinous and deserve special laws.[2]
Growth
The label "hate crime" is increasingly widely applied.
US
The US since about 2015 has seen a huge rise in "hate crimes: but, since the FBI does not keep separate track of them as of 2017, quantification is difficult. Whether this corresponds with a rise in such activity is uncertain - it might result from relabelling. Louisiana law illustrates this trend; since 2016 resisting arrest has been classified as a hate crime, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 or a 5 year prison sentence. The law was part of a surge of similar legislation introduced around the US.[3][4]
UK
In UK, convictions reportedly doubled from 2012 to 2017, according to Home Office figures for England and Wales.[5] The Daily Mail reported in 2018 that a FOIA request had revealed that 2507 alleged "hate incidents" were logged in 2015-2016. It gave several examples, including a dog fouling and a disputed line call in a tennis match.[6]
"Met police chiefs were criticised for bragging about the resources during a surge in London murders." One tweet, later deleted, boasted that "We have 900+ specialist officers dedicated to investigating all hate crime."[6]
"Fake hate crimes"
A "fake hate crime" is a false flag hate crime and may make up a large proportion of hate crimes.[7] They often include alleged incidents of racism such as name calling or graffiti[8] although they fake stabbings are not unknown.[9] A website, http://fakehatecrimes.org attempts to keep track of fake hate crimes in the USA. Inspiration for this trend may be a growing awareness of the Mossad's long history of false flag attacks against Jewish targets, to try to raise sympathy for the cause of "antisemitism".[citation needed]

A "hate group" is a group which promotes a "hateful" ideology such as racism or sexism. These groups are a special focus of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which staff members alleged in March 2019 itself suffered from a "systemic culture of racism and sexism within its workplace."[11]

"Hate speech" is part of the ongoing effort to restrict free speech. In 2019, the Austrian government was considering a (widely criticised)[12] policy of outlawing internet anonymity on grounds of "hate speech".[13] "Hundreds of people in Scotland are being recorded on police databases every year for committing “non-crimes” such as telling offensive jokes."[14]
