Why is it that conservatives like myself freely criticize as silly or insane the excesses of the Right (Jan 6, assertions that Covid-19 is a CIA PsyOp, Trump won the election) but the Left is so reluctant to be critical of its lunatic fringe?

I think it is because bad actors on the left are both powerful and vindictive -- even as this story illustrates.

I see (at least here) a fair number of people who self-identify as left criticizing the anti-free-speech tendencies of parts of the left...

I am delighted to be corrected! May their number increase.
