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.

I think everything West is leftish at the moment.
The Soviet Union went alt right, what could be more natural for the west to go left?
I’m Gen X, it’s all a bit too weird for me.

Still, don’t conservative parties in the EU still believe in things like climate change, heathcare, workers rights, etc?
Aren’t they more isolationist (pro Russian), against immigration (hard to blame them there), and anti checks and balances (fuck that)?

Russia (I assume this is what you mean) didn’t go “alt right”. They likely spend a lot of resources encouraging right wing politics in all countries they benefit from weakening the stability of. It’s no surprise they had a hand in helping Trump, brexit, Bolsonaro, NRA. Just look at who they supported in a massive disinformation campaign in Poland, a leader of the ultra-nationalist, neo-fascist “All-Polish Youth”.
To anyone in general, not OP: inb4 any whataboutuism about US meddling in the world. It’s a separate matter. Two things can be shit at the same time.

I’ve resisted right up until this moment embracing this viewpoint, but I think we really have reached a point where every one of the old labels has lost all utility. We’re just sort of passing around paper mache cargo cult effigies of things our grandparents took for granted and didn’t bother to preserve for us.
Not really
Maybe the Anglos are becoming leftish, but continental Europe is becoming rightish instead
The british governement are doing more and more anti-immigration and anti-LGBT+ laws, so they also becoming rightish
What laws exactly? I’m not informed of the current situation of the UK apart from a lot of PMs in a few months
