It's the same mechanism where leftists who live in florida and texas etc are the most aggressive and batshit insane, it's compensation for living in a relatively more nationalist, less generally cosmopolitan country. Adding to that is being self conscious about not living in New York or London or similar and a lot of leftism is about pretending to be a high status rich urban person who can believe stupid shit like that because they're insulated from the results
