It's not any different from republicans calling liberals libtards, antifa and communists whenever someone talks about medicare for all. Both sides do it to each other, right wingers just complain about it more because the majority of people who control social media platforms tend to be left leaning. In general, people only want free speech for things they want to say, but not for things they disagree with.

Yes, but has an open Antifa supporter ever been denied college entrance or attending a conference because of that support? Or lost their job?

  Not quite Antifa but here's an example of a Harvard grad losing her consulting job due to threatening violence against people who say "all lives matter" [1] https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/harvard-grad-claira-janover-lost-deloitte-job-over-tiktok-stab-threat/ https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/harvard-grad-claira-janover-lo...

    Yes, but you have to admit all the vast majority of firings lately are for people not having the proper left wing viewpoint.

  Threatening violence, yes that will get you in trouble (hopefully). A little different than just minding your business wearing a MAGA hat.

    You mean like Trump saying he could shoot someone and not lose voters in 2016? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTACH1eVIaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTACH1eVIaA

      We've all heard this, but did he actually go out and shoot someone and do it? He was talking out of his *ss about how confident he was about his supporters. English isn't even my first language and I could tell that's what he meant.

        Did the girl who threatened to stab "all lives matter" people actually go out and do it? No, but she got fired anyway. Free speech does not mean that your words have no consequences.

Yes naming calling is very different from an organized effort to up end someone life. Calling someone a "libtard" is not the same as 1,000 angry mob members calling a persons work place to get them fired
