In my experience, they don't hate "the West". They may hate its history and traditions, but they are diehard supporters of the CurrentYear foreign policy.
They've been indoctrinated with the belief that the society they live in is the most oppressive in all of human history and that literally anything else would be better, so they want it destroyed.
But why do they reflexively support Western foreign policy?
I think we assume a doctrinaire element to the normie 'beliefs' that simply isn't there. Isn't "whatever the media is saying" the more persuasive explanation"?
The media is telling them that they're opposing the establishment by supporting all of the establishment's agenda and talking points, and they believe it because they're morons.
