Here is an example of your standard smarmy lefty demeanor.
Their beloved Daniel Andrews is posing with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, something most NPCs would find troubling. So how does the average bigboomer socialist cope? By trying to make light humor of the news.

"The president of Heard island didnt get an invite?"

"Where was the photo taken?"
"Brisbane."

"Where is the bobster?"

"Never realised he was this tall. No wonder the statue is taking so long. "

They know they can't seriously explain him posing alongside Putin in a positive light so they bring out the low-IQ smug boomer humor.
