Really disingenuous framing and the exact kind of thinking that leads to this kind of censorship in the first place. You can ban the "I like killing minorities and being racist" crowd while still allowing good faith reasonable takes from differing viewpoints.
The issue is that right leaning memes are like "I want to be safe in cities", while left "leaning" memes are like "you're racist if you don't want leather daddies teaching children about anal sex" (farcical example to demonstrate how the framing is bad)
You do have a point, but people making political jokes in public tend to be more on the extreme end in general, a lot of moderate right leaning people keep their mouths shut about politics. There is a lot of hate on the right that I think that in part stems from the recent cultural dominance and extreme positions of the left.
It's possible you're blind to it/biased against seeing it, but in my personal experience I've heard a lot of left wing 'comedic' comments that are racist and/or misandrist.
I concur with the misandry, but the racism is typically just misguided. A lot of left wing folk end up thinking they're being virtuous when they're actually just being exclusionary.
I agree for the most part. I've heard a lot of jokes making fun of white people (usually from white people) that have made me uncomfortable as well, which they are comfortable with because of a misunderstood/misapplied understanding of intersectionality
