I don't buy this piece's claim that the American left follows a "culture of critical discourse": There is a disturbing trend in the modern American left of suppressing and punishing people whose opinions do not confirm to the liberal consensus. Free speech law blog Popehat is a good source of concrete examples [1] [2] [3] [4].
I recently saw an article here on HN which did an excellent job of expressing this concern [5]. Sadly it didn't get very many upvotes.
