The same intensity? No, more intensity.
Actual white supremacists don’t pose any threat to the prevailing system of thought, so mostly get ignored as marginal wackos.
On the other hand, mainstream people who dissent, even in a minor way, pose a serious threat. They challenge orthodoxy in a way that crazy racists don’t. The real danger? People might start listening to them!
That’s why they get shut down harder. It’s about silencing credible dissent.
Actual harm prevention is a distant secondary concern.
