Why do most people online hate liberals? (sh.itjust.works)

I believe in Night-watchman state and I think that any country currently would benefit massively from supporting liberal values.

But I also wonder, what did liberals do to deserve all the hate they get online?

How are we defining liberal here? I wouldn't consider 'centrists' to be liberal, personally, but here in America most people think of them that way.

I think, to further emphasize your point, whoever asks must also define what constitutes center.

In my own country I'd be a moderate centrist with anarchist leanings. In the US I'd be extreme left, liberal, and on NSAs watch list.
