Leftists have practiced the art of loudly accusing enemies of their own sins, forever. Probably invented "the best defense is a good offense" bumper sticker.

The most miserable and hateful ppl

The entire playbook of the progressive left consists of slapping a pejorative, inaccurate label on opponents and then attacking the label in order to attempt to silence the opposition without considering or debating the merits of their positions. Basically in this case, “libs of tiktok is a terrorist, terrorists are bad, and therefore that terrorist Libs of TikTok should be deplatformed and no one should listen to anything that terrorist has to say”.

Unfortunately for them however, this tactic is getting quite long in the tooth and increasingly ineffective -- see the failed cancellations of Chappelle, Rogan, Musk, et al, and of course their inability to cancel people like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald despite calling them Nazis, racists and all the usual bullshit. The thing is, once people stop respecting (or fearing) a bully enough to worry what names the bully calls them, their power is lost entirely. So keep your chin up and keep up the good work!
