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.

    Nah, it’s a fairly good way to differentiate between collectivist and individualistic ideas.

      It’s a whopping two sides of a scale, which doesn’t unambiguously refer to “individualism” or “collectivism”, also referring vaguely to associations with dozens of other issues. So it’s actually a worse way of describing those ideas than saying “individualist” or “collectivist”, because you’re no longer even specifically saying that. And “individualist” vs. “collectivist” is already a terrible way to categorize all political ideas. What does abortion have to do with collectivism? How about zoning laws, or environmental protection?

        Environmental protection is collectivist. It’s what is best for everyone. (Including future generations).

        But abortion is a good exception.

          But what’s best for every individual is what’s best for everyone…
