What is a “centrist?” And then once that’s been stated, what are the characteristics that differentiate the right and left? Then once that’s clear, isn’t the “center” as portrayed in modern politics just a more moderate right wing?

After all, even a classical liberal would be somewhat to the right of the spectrum, and a neoliberal is explicitly right wing, then the people we call liberals aren’t really in the supposed center.

And if the social democrats are left of the supposed center then they’re not center neither. 

Just something to think about.

Anyway, wasn’t a meme about centrism, but about people who claim to be apolitical but in their actions are clearly right wing.

When objective truth is derived from what your cult leader says, it's easy to be a centrist 🙃
