" no comparable anti-intellectual streak in the American left as there is in the right" Wow. Intersectionalism, as it is applied popularly, is a massively 'anti intellectual' exercise. Authoritarianism, controlling speech, banning speakers etc. at campuses all across the US is largely driven by a specific group of leftists. Those actions are quite fundamentally 'anti intellectual' and 'anti liberal' to the point wherein it has quite a number of people in those communities afraid to speak out. This has spread from academia into other institutions such as government and media and has significant impact upon us all. I'm not taking sides, other than to point out that there's some roughshod everywhere you look, it just takes different forms. The hard part is most people might not want to have the self awareness to consider that some actions may be corrupt, i.e. banning 'Jordan Peterson' from speaking may be considered a moral act by some, hence, they see nothing wrong on 'their side' only 'the other'.
