FYI, that Twitter account was suspended. My son told me that picture was going around his various Facebook groups a few days ago. I suspect it must have been a parody account run by a non-leftist, doing leftist send-ups. If it had been a real progressive account, it wouldn’t have been suspended.
I was Progressive Dad, a political satirist in a similar vein as Godfrey Elfwick and Titiana McGrath. I mocked internet outrage culture both left and right. My modus operandi; if you are mad online and looking for a straw man to prove your point, I’m available. ProgDad made international headlines several times like the time he tried to convince gun enthusiasts to use “words not guns” in home invasion situations and the time he heroically chased MAGA hat-toting racists off a bus.

Still, I have seen actual liberals claim that they would use their words (because they're so clever, not to mention empathetic) to talk someone out of mugging them.

I thought as much. I’m a Titania McGrath fan, btw.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
What better way to ridicule than with truth?
