Hate crimes and the related seem to involve a very small tiny amount of people dedicated to the cause of genocide and a revolving door of a much larger contingency who is susceptible to in the moment but eventually decides it's too extreme, not for them, etc and killing people of a religious group/racial group/political ideology doesn't achieve their goal of the other group actually isn't trying to kill them.

The exact same arguments were made for info wars when they were banned. There was a big jump in numbers the first couple weeks and when they could no longer recruit the susceptible they disappeared from all serious discussions of conservative view points. Elimination of bad faith arguments doesn't actually amplify those views on timescales that actually matter.
