Protesting is not banning
Sure it is.

The extreme right uses force. The extreme left uses social pressure until it leads to violence.

Different means for the same end. None are better than the other.

Are you f-ing kidding me? You really believe the left uses free speech to ban free speech?
>ou really believe the left uses free speech to ban free speech?

They use free speech to incite violence against free speech.

Yep, shutting down speech because of "security concerns" is not banning, like what happened to many conservative speakers (Ben Shapiro at DePaul for example).
