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.

    When discussing the whole space of possible political views, there is no “both sides”. There are seven zillion different axes on seven zillion different issues, some of them concrete (“should we forbid chemical companies from manufacturing neonicotinoid pesticides?”) and some abstract (“what is the best relationship between individual creativity, the marketplace, and the state?”).

    “Both sides” (polarized duality) is partly an artifact of specific electoral systems. It can lead to people shooting at each other over tiny differences in doctrine — or, even more often, over which leader to follow this year.

      Also: for example both US parties would be considered as a (far) right party here in Germany
