Particularly apposite for [[virtue-signalling]] [[libtard]]s, as there is something uniquely [[passive-aggressive|passive aggressive]] about the [[libtard]] mindset: not just a [[tiresome]] political disposition — okay, people who talk ''any'' kind of politics a lot are tiresome — but [[tiresome]] ''moralising'', with in-built opprobrium should one dare to question it.
