Interesting that censorship pressure apparently came from the religious right back then, but today "cancel culture" of all things deemed "racist," "sexist," "islamophobe," "transphobe" etc. etc. etc. comes predominately from the far left today!

I wouldn't describe the wokesters as only far left. I think what we've seen develop over the last decade is a second axis that runs from authoritarian through to libertarian - a dual-axis chart.

So it's possible to be:

left authoritarian - the cancel culture we currently see within universities, Big Tech etc
left libertarian - those who tend towards William Morris style socialism, promoting human rights, caring for those less fortunate, small is beautiful, freedom of speech (very important) and so on - John Lennon's "Imagine"
right libertarian - emphasis on individual liberties and responsibility, small government, free enterprise, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms (in the US at any rate)
right authoritarian - The State knows best, our loyalty is to the State, dissent weakens the State, outsiders weaken the state.

The old political parties - from left to right - have yet to realign within a twin-axis political system. Consequently, within any one party, you can find a mix of authoritarians and libertarians - but this is causing a strain on the system - a collapse will come at some point and a new political structure will emerge.
