This is a question more directed towards our comrades here outside the US. There’s something I’ve always noticed about American liberals (though plenty of conservatives and others are not immune). They seem to have this extreme confidence in their opinions about broader global affairs and what is happening in the world, despite them being incorrect or having only a superficial understanding of the situation. Obvious examples would be how they are sure Ukraine is winning and Putin is just an irrational comic book villain, how Kim Jong Un insists everyone gets the same haircut as him (or no one), believing anything Zenz says about Xinjiang, or really any story at all that involves the global south.
Is this just phenomenon of US American liberals? Or is it rampant across the global north? My interactions with fellow Americans in general on anything geopolitical makes feel like they have this truly unearned sense that they really know what’s going on, when all they do is listening to and ardently defend State Dept propaganda. But I have never really interacted with liberals outside the US so idk.
No this is a thing pretty much all over the west but I've also observed this behavior by people from India, South Korea, Vietnam and China when they visit Switzerland just to a lesser extent. I think a lot of it has to do with just how our brains are wired, unless you have a 'real' connection to a topic or a place or a people you will generally just have an opinion about the other place based on what you've read and so a lot of countries just become an adjective.
Generally I'd say that western people are more opinionated and hate when you point them out that they are wrong, which is probably due to western chauvinism, and american expectionalism which is a suped up version of western chauvinism. Again Switzerland is one of those adjective countries that people like to use to basically talk about their own country.
