Oh, we absolutely need to begin by acknowledging that Bentham's definition of liberal is no longer what that word means. The terminology has changed. But these are absolutely modern liberal ideals (namely, that those who are being oppressed have the right to fight back against those oppressing them).
The good news about this whole situation (other than the fact that it is likely WAY overblown, and isn't really happening with the regularity that is claimed), is that the people at the forefront of the fight against it tend to be people who want to use the language and ideas of hate as learning tools to prevent it in the future. As always, communication will set us free.
