>Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized

This is a false equivalence. For all the flaws of Antifa and woke culture, they aren't the ones advocating violent insurrection against democratic government in the United States and the murder of Republican law makers for being traitors to the cause. Not as satire or comment, but literally.

I would contend that it is not surprising that one of these sides is encountering more problems with posting guidelines than the other.

> violent insurrection against democratic government

Is right leaning content for insurrection? Sorry I've missed that train. The "right/libertarian" I see censored is much tamer than that, Joe Rogan, Sargon of Akkad, Viva Frey, Academic Agent, Thunderf00t, 1791.

Bernie's campaign staff were calling for killing wealthy people. Does that count?

Did they organise a militia, obtain weapons and ammunition, agree to meet at the Capitol and actually storm the Capitol, chant "kill him with his own gun" when they got hold of one police officer, and for real beat another police officer to death with a fire extinguisher?

Shit talking like that in private, in a bar in a heavily editorialised recording is one thing. I've been a student and Ive heard people brag about all kinds of stuff. Actually following through in the capitol with a violent, literally murderous insurrection is on a completely different level and it's frankly exasperating to me that you can't or won't see that.

You're relying on a highly edited video clip from Project Veritas, really? The constantly-cutting-clip is of some low level field organiser drunkenly mouthing off in a bar. Even the constant cutting of the video couldn't hide the fact that the guy was punctuating his musings with laughter.
