I would say the key difference about the left is that the supporters of these kinds of movements rarely get much support at the top. Even Bernie Sanders and AOC have stepped back from supporting certain movements after criticism (I'm thinking of Venezuela), while such contrition on the right is rare (until the Capitol sedition).

Right, so that generally falls into the category I identified in the first comment: stuff that people on the left say in the heat of the moment, but don't stick to. She was, at the time, being interviewed by the notoriously fiery Ta-Nehisi Coates. It's kind of like comparing Elon Musk smoking weed on Joe Rogan to someone who smokes weed at work every day.
I really doubt AOC actually believed at any time that the world would end in 2030 (cf. Paris Agreement's 2030 Agenda).
