Nah nah, it makes total sense in a liberal mind. For context: I live in Russia and know a few people who went full lib over the years. Heck, used to be one myself. So here's how it goes: homegrown libs think themselves to be exceptional, an enlightened spark in an endless swamp of dull sheep. So to them Al those sheep support le ebil putler because they are deaf and blind and ignorant, but if Great Enlightened Shrugging Atlas was to be put in charge instead, then they'd shake off the chains of ebil sovok and become free and civilised like [insert preferred country of liberal in question]. And those who don't make it through the transition period, well, they were a ballast anyway. They see themselves as Neo in the Matrix, stylishly kicking ass of stoopid sleepwalking plugged in humans
Interestingly enough, our own liberals over here are the same, thinking themselves a lone genius in a sea of ignorance, despite the fact that their opinion is always the mainstream one over here and they never receive any real pushback for it. I think smugness is just a core part of liberalism.

So it seems, yeah. There's been some posts by comrades from various places, and it seems libs are more or less the same across the board
