In leftist spaces, right-leaning ideas are challenged. In right-leaning spaces, leftists are banned and leftist ideas are censored. Why are conservatives opposed to the free marketplace of ideas?

Serious question.

Thanks for the reply. This sounds a lot like how AM / Talk radio works on the right as well. Leftist talk shows actually bring on interesting guests, but right wing shows always cut the mic when the guest says something thought-provoking.

I would think conservatives would benefit from having their ideas challenged. It was the main reason why I started paying more attention to leftist ideas: they are actually defensible.

You see the same censoring on right YouTube as well. "so and so owns WOKE Trans non-binary sheep" but it's really just a clip that's cut off after their bad argument and before a logical rebuke destroys it.

That’s why there’s a comment section. These are hardly the same thing. Do you understand why they are different?

If you think calling people wrong in Youtube comments makes Youtube less likely to spread their bullshit, I have terrible news.
