I would caution against inferring any of that with significant confidence solely from personal experiences.

I'm sure my generalizations would be wrong for lots of individual Progressives and Libertarians, but that won't make me dismiss my conclusions from my lifetime of observations. What can we reason, but from what we know?

I would also caution against describing the situation the way you do here unless your intention is to upset progressives who lack X.

I'm a libertarian, loathe Progressive doctrines, and would remake the world to efface their effects from existence. If they're Progressives and lack X, I don't see a way to sugar coat those facts that will make them happy. Do you?

That said, upsetting people in this way can of course be a very effective way of maneuvering for status

Yes, and framing someone's statements as intentionally upsetting people to maneuver for status is effective in maneuvering for status with some people too.
