Most people now understand that their flavor of liberal democracy has failed, maybe for many years but there hasn't been an alternative. Now that China success has become mainstream, seriously you now have normie streamers touring China in awe and chinamaxxing, people are becoming more open to alternative goverments. Even the poster boy of liberal democracy, the US, is a fucking joke for any serious person.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I don't think it's because of better attitudes towards non-Western countries. It's just that political parties that expected by naive electoralists to uphold liberal democratic values have done a terrible job at governance paving the way for explicit fascists to take power.
Like if you are a working class Labour supporter, what is it they are doing that will make you give them a smidge of your faith and goodwill? They took the reigns from a shambolic Tory government and somehow did even worse.
Similarly, if you are a Democrat supporter, what has your party done in response to the fascist Trump regime that you can confidently call an earnest opposition to the tearing down the whatever little democratic institutions there were?
The truth is that Liberal politicians don't do shit because they don't want to. They have been not doing shit for so long that they are running out of excuses. People are starting to catch on to that.
Can we please stop calling liberal states "democracies", those are ones of the least democratic states in the world rn. I know its technically the "formal" name but i just cringe so hard.
Like, why are we going along with the lie that theyve told everyone to whitewash their terrible system?
To answer the question. I think that the more that the economic conditions worsen, the more people "get into politics". And naturally, they dont like realizing that they are little more than cattle for the Bourgeoisie.
The jig is up. epstien files were a solid smack in the face to make liberals wake up.
I don't know, here in the bowels of The Beast, the attitudes I generally see pretty much replicate 🥧 fed, Nazi 🌎, 💩 works, but with more zionism, racism, LGBT+ /Muslim phobias, less privacy conscious.
