Today, on the left (which is generally thought to be more "moral" than the right) you hear slogans like "no debate" alarmingly frequently. One of their main methods of dealing with opposition is "cancellation" of persons and disruption of debates and talks. But we don't all think of new left as fascists. But their methods today actively deny others the right to participate fully. We have the paradox of intolerance running right through society right to left, and I would even argue that the left may use these methods more than the right. When you have cultural dominance (eg: the way the Catholic church did in Ireland up until the 1990s) you can simply claim that anyone who opposed you is evil, and the majority agree, and deny them platform. Today, where I live, all but the most right wing news outlet will dare to point out "certain truths". This is terrible. It makes one side immune to criticism. The left no longer have the capacity to be self critical. It's a bubble with a purity spiral running down the middle of it, the ostracism slide that ends outside the bubble in a bin. I say this as a traditionally left wing (socially and fiscally) person who is now completely disillusioned with the left and politically homeless.
