I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Left and right are two stupid categories built up by propaganda, get them out of your head and start to think on your own terms

      This. There an infinite number of ideologies that you could have, but our first past the post voting system (in the US) only allows for two candidates, so an infinite spectrum gets funneled into two camps.

        Left/right isn’t an exclusively American concept, it is used all over the world regardless of the political system of the country.

      It’s pretty meaningfully different when one side wants to fix the climate and create social and economic policy that benefits the majority, while the other wants to concentrate wealth into the hands of the few at the expense of everyone else, and the climate, and is creating propaganda aimed at the dehumanization of LGBTQ+ and perceived-non-Americans (even when they’re citizens).

        Any party that label themself as left or right is applying the same politics that benefits those in power and lie about it to the public.
