why, oh why, use that word. It's the verbal equivalent of a suitcase nuke :P
We are all trained by the corporate media to use certain words. These words get artificially injected into cultures and from them, all sorts of ideas, values and triggers get associated with those words. Thus using one of these words is like activating a spell of madness.
That word 'hatespeech' has a huge amount of division associated with it. There's a full time microcosmic, memetic war going on between the so called "anti-hate" types and the anti-anti-hate types. If you inspect either end of the polarized spectrum you'll only find madness.
This is not to even mention how governments started attaching legal significance to 'hatespeech'.
Here are some alternative phrases that are clearer in meaning:
instead of lying about Purism.
instead of slandering Purism.
instead of speaking harshly of Purism.
I do not assume you meant ill will by invoking the 'hatespeech' spell.
