Whose Culture Warriors Are Worse?

Left-wing woke warriors in universities and on the internet attempt to censor newly objectionable traditional opinions by economic means–typically, by trying to get the unpopular speaker punished or fired by his employer. Right-wing culture warriors use the power of the government to prohibit more progressive opinions in public schools. Some of them go so far as to engage in madcap insurrections, both at the state and federal level, when they don’t get their way through legal means.

While both groups want to censor opposing viewpoints, the clear difference between the two is that the right wants to use the government to get its way, and has had some success in red states. The woke left has neither guns nor political power; it relies solely on public opinion and the fears of businesses and institutions to accomplish its objectives.

Neither illiberal group is admirable, but which one is more dangerous? Do you really think the side with Twitter trigger fingers is worse than the side with guns?
