I agree with you here. I would just add:
> This huge drive for censorship didn't occur when a large portion of the American left thought that 9/11 was an inside job, because the normal people on the left knew that it was a large, but still fringe, group within their own sphere. The problem is that the same normal people on the left don't know normal people on the right. Why? Because they don't know ANY people on the right.
I think to at least some degree, this is a difference between 2001 and 2020. Normal people on the left knew people on the right, and now they don't.
