I don't understand. How is someone who promotes rights, liberties, and democracy getting pissed off at someone else exercising those rights?

noun noun: liberal; plural noun: liberals; noun: Liberal; plural noun: Liberals

1.   a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
2.   a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Because you're not doing it the right way according to them.

It's like religion - leaders tell their followers that their religion is the only right way to honor their higher power of choice.

Russian and Chinese bots are pushing these talking points on here because they want to create instability.

These same talking points are made frequently in the Russian and Chinese communities here on lemmy.

This post translates to: “you aren’t rioting and burning buildings like we want! You are cowards!”

I agree with you. Every time I see someone mention progressive or liberal on here it's always referring to them in a right-leaning context. Seems like an effort to destabilize the meaning of a word to cause confusion.

LMAO yes, these college kids are rioting and burning buildings at PEACEFUL protests. So peaceful that even police say they were peaceful. You're so full of shit you might as well flush yourself, you piece of shit.

I said they did not riot and burn buildings and you rant as if I said the opposite.

Oh shit my bad I misread. I'll downvote myself for that one.
