Is there any real freedom of speech when certain things are labelled as hate speech or politically incorrect? What is stopping others who wish not to hear something from just walking away or turning off that which is upsetting to them?

Hate speech is like a threat of violence.

Wouldn't that be a threat then and not hate speech? Freedom of speech means you have the right to say anything, just like other have the right to not listen.

I don't think you can ignore a threat. So threats virtually negate the "right to not listen."

Did you see the video in question? Where was the hate speech? And no, hate speech is not a threat, it's words of hatred, just word's nothing more.
