The reason should be obvious.

In a liberal democracy, people generally have uncensored access to the internet and information and can make up their own minds, and they would naturally look down on authoritarian/totalitarian nations.

In authoritarian/totalitarian nations information is rigidly controlled, and the populace is instructed who and what is considered an enemy - who to hate, and why it is 'patriotic' to hate them. There is no choice. Democratic nations are a natural threat to authoritarian/totalitarian nations because their existence denies the superiority of a single, absolute power in control and risks their own populations demanding democracy and freedom.

Some people are so myopically focused on valid criticism of the United States that they get brain worms and think that means that they also have to pretend that things are better in Russia and China and hell there is a contingent that is huge DPRK fans.
