Nah the extremes just stand out more and get more attention but it is surely not the general opinion of people. But normal is boring and extreme is intresting that's just the way the internet and media works. Why else wouldn't we hear anything nice about Russia or other things some people and media don't agree with. Because extremes and an us vs them mentality (black/white) is far more intresting for people than the grey and boring matter which lies closest to the truth.

The thing is, most people that are being labelled as SJWs, I don't think they're on the far left. They're mainly social democrats from what I've seen, or I guess progressives as how they self-identify.

That's however exactly how you can make an enemy out of someone who belongs to the gray instead of the black or white. In general the left or midleft are called librards and SJW while midright and right are called Nazi's. They associate anyone who's opinion they don't agree with with either the extreme left or extreme right. I don't think social democrats are SJW or liberals are Nazi's (would be strange calling yourself a Nazi as a Dutchy). But people with a more extreme view who disagree with liberals or social Democrats will try to insult those groups with SJW/Nazi nonetheless.
Put a liberal and a social democrat and a progressive together in a politics discussion and chances are very low ones starts calling the other nazi/SJW. Put an extreme right and extreme left person together in a political discussion and things might start to heat up a bit and chances of name calling increase.
Calling liberals selfish and not culturally/religious sensitive however is kind of right, sInce we love adanced morally doubtful science like stamcells, genetic manipulation, fetussen examination, abortion euthanasism, organ donors all for the glory of science and choice with litle regard for cultures and religions who disagree. But that opinion is way more founded than simply calling someone a Mysogenic sexist, Nazi, Feminazi SJW, etc.
