I used to think so too, and at one point I think it was used too broadly to describe anyone with any left-of-center progressive ideas. But, more and more people are describing themselves with this term, with a tendency toward being those who the OP describes. Far-left, otherwise potentially intelligent people, who think they fight for a virtuous ideology by publicly shaming people on the internet and really not doing anything positive for anyone. I'd hope for more from these people, but if all else fails, they should be ridiculed like the racists they are and the racists they claim to fight against.
