This is a bad take. Sure, actions lead to genocide, but words lead to actions. Yes, hateful words have always been around, and always will be, but don't pretend they don't influence actions.

We all agree that a line has to be drawn somewhere. Drawing it at laws / actions seem much more sensible than utterances.

I fully understand your point but that would require further qualification of "words". Sometimes actions are already too late. This line is closer to propaganda, indoctrination, organised instructive racial differentiation something what is just happening in USA ATM

So there’s no such thing as incitement? As I recall, you drew a causal connection between the conman’s Jan 6 speech & the lynch-mob attack on the Capitol that followed.

Which laws or actions do you regard as the first preventable steps which led to the Holocaust? Hitler couldn't make laws until he was chancellor of Germany, and then it was too late. How did he become chancellor? His Nazi party won elections. How did they win elections? Words.
