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.

    Post 2016, the worldnews/geopolitics subs that I follow on reddit have become nonstop sinophobic and anti-China hate subs. Prior to 2016, there were a lot of complaining about Chinese tourists and kids that shit on the streets, but after Trump got elected the cold war rhetoric went into full effect.

    This got worse during and after Covid19, especially in America, Canada, and parts of Europe.

    The cold war propagandizing is just so incredibly prevalent on reddit. It’s like people forgot what the cultural/business relationship between the US and China looked like prior to 2016.

      You’re saying it’s conservative for being anti-China? China may say it’s Communist but any leftist is against the CCP.
