I often see on here that someone that says they are Center just means they are right wing.
Eg. this post https://piefed.social/c/wikipedia@lemmy.world/p/2492350/centre-party
Center Party = Far right.
And I get that that is often true, but that got me thinking, when is someone actually “Center?”


It doesn’t have to be an ideology.
People don’t fit neatly into boxes or necessarily have to subscribe to an ideology fully.
Centrilsts might be politically naive yes, but that doesn’t just make them Right wing automatically?
Centrism is the ideology of not having an ideology. If you’re not working from root axioms, if you’re just winging every moral decision… that’s being a loser, not politically intelligent.

and what happens when my axioms are in conflict with yours?
or my axiom is self interest above all else, such that hypocrisy is useful tool to manipulate others?
call me names all you want if it makes you feel better, is that one of your axioms? mock anyone who asks you a question that challenges your assumption?

Right, anyone who isn’t you is trash. Sounds like a convenient axiom.
