What’s with half of this sub being filled with anti-Austrians?

Look, I know this is Reddit: the greatest echo chamber to ever be created, but in the time I’ve been on this site (which I regret), many subs similar to this were niche enough so that they wouldn’t always get filled with people who were just going “you’re stupid, and your ideas are stupid” and trying to debate everyone for 3 weeks in a row for seemingly no reason at all other than having seemingly nothing else to do.

This sub is rather small, but every single post gets filled with 50% of comments being from terminally-online people who come here only to argue against every single fucking thing they can. I’ve seen this is specially common whenever someone posts anything about Milei’s policies: an army of Americans and Europeans will show up and start crying in the comments, mad at what the president of a country they don’t even know the capital’s name of is doing. Really? Have these people nothing better to do? Are they so mad about what’s going on some country 8000 kilometers away from their comfortable developed capitalist nations?

I don’t necessarily want this to be an echo chamber, after all, debate is good, but it just amazes me how many posts just get filled with anti-Austrian people (mostly pseudo-economists), while if you go to any other more mainstream sub to put forward any Austrian-esque view, you get downvoted to oblivion and perhaps even just banned. It’s kinda annoying, to be honest.
