Correlation does nor imply causation in either direction. Perhaps they're both caused by a third factor, or it's a coincidence. We can't know without doing an experiment.

They're just trying too hard to absolve people with psychiatric disorders and that's not really the issue here.

People engaging in hate speech are fundamentally broken, does it rise to the level of a disorder? 🤷‍♂️
