>Every reply of yours so far has hinged on my definition of terms being arbitrary.
Not quite. I am fully aware that ideas like "privilege" or "dominance/power hierarchies" have well defined meanings. But thought they are well-defined, their applicability in explaining our society is controversial. Proponents of these concepts tend to be ideologically driven. I criticized these concepts because you used them to create a definition of 'hate speech'.
>Maybe you have never examined them because you never needed to interface with them in practice
I have no idea what you're talking about here.
>maybe you do understand them and are just arguing in bad faith to defend a more abstract belief
I disagree. I attempted to be very clear in why I disagree with your point of view and I tried to capture your position fairly. Where is this 'bad faith'?
