It's listening to both sides and seeing which you agree with more, depending on the issue. I don't like when people are radically one way or the other because you just completely cloud yourself, but sometimes you can't help but lean more towards one side sometimes, even if you are centrist.

It's actually sitting, listening to each individual issue and deciding on each on whether or not you agree with it, and the ending result is on average a 50/50 split on right/left agendas.

Its not that. I dunno if you'd call me a centrist but like I see the benefits of free market capitalism but also understand that without a certain degree of state intervention in terms of controlling natural monopolies, maintaining CPRs, and generally making sure that in this age of information overload, consumers are not misled and abused.

Meanwhile I believe in an egalitarian society and believe that what goes on between two consenting adults is of nobody elses concern. Yet I am opposed to the fascist ideals of SJWs and completely agree that islam is a threat to western society in all its beauty.

Ultimately I am not a 'fence sitter' rather I see validity in some topics from a left viewpoint, some from a right viewpoint, and think it's silly to keep yourself tethered to an ideology filled with bugs and irrational thought processes.

Centrism isn't very well defined.
Individual topics have a range of opinions that each person can have. I don't think a fertilized egg is a person, but sucking the brain out of a baby 30 seconds before it would have been born is basically murder. Most people have a stance on abortion somewhere between those extremes.

Political parties shouldn't always represent individuals perfectly. Is someone who is Conservative in every way but being pro-Choice a Centrist?

Anyone who blindly follows another person, or refuses to pick any sides at all, is an idiot.

Benjamin Franklin once said he was an extreme Moderate, and by that he meant that every person should make up their OWN mind on every issue based on the arguments that sway them. Not picking a side beforehand based on someone else's opinion and making the other side try to persuade you away.

You've got it completely backwards. Being a centrist requires an incredible amount of effort to research things on your own and develop your own opinions rather than relying on a loud media figure to tell you what to think because you're the same party as him. If all issues were related in some way then I could see why people would align themselves to a party so easily, but they're not.

` Ban all shitskins, jews, muslims from white countries (right)
` Make cannabis and cannabis oil legal (left)
` Remove welfare for work-capable people (right)
` Remove welfare for breeding immigrants(right)
` Allow abortion ONLY if women has been raped especially when the rapist is mentally ill (left-right hybrid?)

the list goes on but you get the point

Centrism is the final evolution of fucking autism, after it goes through its libertarian phase. The centrist fails to realize that his culture actually taught him an ideology, not "how to be objective", and so mistakes a moderate version of that ideology for centrism. It is literally the leftists favorite fucking trick and they all fall for it like retards.
You cannot doubt Progressivism "a little". You can't be half-progressive and half something else. You either accept progressivism or reject it. And if you reject it, there's no longer any "centre" to orient yourself around, you have to rise to the challenge of actually thinking for yourself.
>>
>>135328724
Centrism would have been fine 50 years ago, as the focus is to try to maintain the status quo.
However, the left has done such a ridiculous amount of damage to society that we need a far-right solution to clean up the mess, before centrism can even be considered.
>>
>>135329260
Being a centrist is not refusing to pick a side, retard. The center is a "side" by itself, it just because of the stupid false dichotomy that is left and right that the center position is called center: it doesn't fit in right or left. Being a centrist means you like some parts of the right and some parts of the left. That is not fence-sitting, that is standing for your own values without compromise just so you can fit into the "left-herd" or "right-herd". You may even call the the center a herd too, just to get the point across.
There is such a thing as a radical centrist because they strongly believe in the mix of right and leftwing policies they have chosen, and centrists have often committed the most violent attacks in defense of their political beliefs. So no, centrists are not fence-sitters, they just don't fit into the rightwing herd or the leftwing herd.
>>
>>135328724
The point in principle is that there may be occasions when two belief systems are not mutually exclusive and absorbing parts of both would be more beneficial than dedicating oneself to a single one. In practice most of the centrists I've met are either just too frightened to express their real views or weak willed flip-floppers who follow whatever social movement seems the strongest but want to pretend they still hold an individualist mentality.

In many situations I do not find centrism useful, for example heath care should not be considered a human right, I will not compromise on that issue because a thing can't be half a human right and half a commodity, it's either a human right or a commodity.
>>
>>135344445
Except the centrists have a herd mentality too. The vast vast majority of them are socially liberal but economically conservative.
>>
>>135328724
All ideologies are idiotic. It means you're not thinking for yourself. No one has a monopoly on good ideas, many times both sides have a part of the issue figured out. Centrism as an ideology is also idiotic but if you call yourself a centrist when you really hold idiosyncratic views that don't align with any ideology that's a different story.

Which is why I said you may call them a herd too. All groups have a herd mentality. Centrists aren't some retards that just want to keep the status quo.
Social democrats want a regulated but mostly free market and to move forward on most social issues (pro gay rights etc) but that doesn't mean that every social democrat is progressive on every social issue. The center is not just the status quo, it is pushing for its own values just like the left and right are.

What, other than picking not to suck a political cock? That's like asking me to side with a group of white men calling for genocide and demanding all government to fuck off.

Both are literally the most retarded fucks, why would I chose one or the other when I can simply say what is the best response to the problem?

Centrism is a meme label that combines a lot of different things. NatSoc is economically centrist, for example, but that's not enough to explain the whole ideology.
A much better term to separate complex political beliefs from normie-tier apathy would be syncretism.

There is nothing wrong with having nuanced opinions; what I hate is a refusal to take a side when push comes to shove, because you think "radicals r crazy"

The majority of people in any given population are centrists; they are moderate fence-sitters who will conform to the common ideological view as long as it furthers their survival. These common folk centrists are essential to the success of the society and must be organized to do so.

This is where third position politics ( aka Fascism) comes in. It's the radical wing of Centrism that leads the common man to success and prosperity. That is where proper Centrism can be utilized for the good of the nation. This current trend of YouTube skeptics who try to intellectualize moderate Centrism are just sniffing their farts over having a lack of opinion or conviction. They are useless people who will never accomplish anything.
>>
>>135345099
The problem is that what you define as the center changes over time, and in the past 100 years, it's constantly been shifting left.

>>135345927
Sure, the "center" parties as they are called by the right and leftwing are now viewed as leftists but no one is hellbent on being centrist for the sake of being centrist. Centrism is not a goal by itself, the political opinions of centrist parties just so happen to not have all the same values as rightwing and leftwing parties and are thus "fence sitting centrists". It is stupid to play the right, center and left game. There are just different parties with varying values that are called right or leftwing. No values are called center values, but that is becaues no one is trying to claim to be the wise asshole who thinkgs that "the middle ground always provides the best answer". A "centrist" may have a mix of extreme rightwing and extreme leftwing views.

Maybe most centrists are just slightly less retarded liberals, but putting all centrists into that basket because some of them are like that is like leftists saying anything even remotely rightwing is nazism and white supremacy; it is just a stupid strawman. The center only shifts left because that is the perception of the public's political opinions, not because the values of those centrists have changed. If a centrist party changes its mind and becomes a leftist party then it isn't a centrist party anymore, but that doesn't matter to a centrist because they don't give a rat's ass about what they are perceived as, they only care about pushing for what they believe in.

you're wrong. labels change but ideology doesn't. a liberal in 1776 would be a conservative today, but the ideas are the same. on the other hand centrism is all about sitting in the middle of whatever the dominant ideologies are, otherwise it would be considered its own school of thought and not "centrism."

Centrists are nothing more then morally impulsive simpletons every political question given to them could change within a days notice, just change the scenario slightly and they will make a moral/political contradiction, it will conflict with other beliefs they hold.

Not really.
Centrism means you that you know that a status quo needs to exist and be maintained for opposing political ideologies to exist. To know full well the disaster that could occur if the spectrum tilts fully on one direction.

They serve as mitigators of the extremes and represents a level ground for the opposing fronts.

This is the problem with both extremes. They tackle a problem emotionally rather than rationally. It either goes their way or they throw a fit, they do not see their own failings.

So when they make a decision that would affect the whole of the system they disregard or ignore all the possible damage it could do.

When you can see both failings, then you are probably have enough functioning brain cells to come up with a solution that could benefit the entirety of the organization and would avoid conflict or a disastrous collapse.

When you are running a state that involves millions of people you cannot just steer in one direction and hope for the best. Every decision comes with more complications, those who lead must be flexible enough to deal with them as they come.

Centrists do not fall on the farther ends of the political spectrum but can possibly hold extremely radical ideas (presumably borrowing from all sides of that political spectrum).
A moderate is someone who has little to no strong opinions and will not stray far from what is seen as typical political opinions. Technically a moderate can be right or left leaning but will not have extreme or radical opinions.

Centrism is dumb because it's a useless designation. It means vastly different things depending on who you ask. This is why those political compass quizzes are retarded. I'm pretty much a neo-nazi when it comes to immigration, cultural integration, racial differences, anti-islam, etc. But because I answer more on the left for the renewable energy and healthcare sections, I get called a centrist, when in the real world I'd be labeled as, and identify with, far-right.

I get put under the same classification as someone who genuinely has totally centrist beliefs on all issues according to the political compass. It's useless.

it's not though. take welfare for example. the conservative is ideologically opposed to redistribution while the leftist is in favor of it. the centrist is also in favor of it, but will use language like "in some cases" and "we need some kind of safety net."

It's the idea that both progressive (creating positive change) and conservative (resisting negative change) forces are needed in a properly functioning society.

Right now our system seems to revolve around each side "taking turns" where society is markedly progressive for 40 years or so, then after they go too far conservative forces take power for their 40 years and roll back as much as possible.

It works okay, in general. I'd like to see the system working better to stop progressives from going too far BEFORE they go too far so it doesn't require a full conservative takeover to fix. But meh.

Centrist here

Everyone who isn't a centrist just seems like a retard who LARPs a political stance. Like "I am X-wing, so I MUST on every question respond with the same old photon torpedos".

When I see people post their "political compass" answers and get the extreme values I have to imagine they are deranged, given how extreme and bizarre answers you have to make to get those values.

centrists are literall "muh feels." take socalized medicine as an example. the conservative understands that the logical consequence of healthcare as a right is government coersion of medical professionals to work without compensation. a centrist might understand this, but just like a liberal, his feelings make him say "b-but we can't just let people die because of ideology."

Just as a note, National Socialism is centrist and is neither truly left or right. (((Communism))) and (((Capitalism))) have literally zero in common. National Socialism on the other hand takes elements of both, regarding the situation, and through being logical created a system that actually works.
You would think the fact it's often referred to as 'the third position' would be a bit of a giveaway, but you're never really sure who you're addressing on here anymore.

I don't think it is real. On paper it sounds great, lots of bad ideas to be avoided in most ideologies, picking and choosing what is beneficial would be ideal. In practice it seldom works. People who identify as centrists usually are anything but. Politicians just use it as a label to seem less threatening, for example the rebranding of macron.

Theres a reason they're called moderates. They really like to "moderate" debates while they shit onboth sides constantly. When somebody engages then in an argument, they fall back on some vague notion of their neutrality and "I just use logic and reason to come to my views" as if they are special in this regard or that them having a "nuanced" is justification in off itself.

They think that beong in a position that allows them to shit on both sides, while presumably not being able to be shat on, makes them smarter.

tl;dr: Centrists are opportunistic women too scared to commit in what they believe.

>>135328724
I think it inself it is weird how politicies are put into "pacakage deals" and then called "left" or "right". (Funnier even as tehy have changed through ages)
I think that I'd choose the policies for what is best according to the information now available - this is a centrist thought or so I have heard.
THough you can conclude for the same policy for different reasons goals - like 1 person likes keeping abortions legal because my-body-my-choice another because it eliminates nig-nogs.
Or one wants to redistribute wealth because much-equality other because he thinks it'll ramp up the war production of the motherland.
So I dunno I reject package deals - I think what is important is the motivations then you choose the policies that according to the best analysis are able to reach those.
What is stupid when someone states a motivation/goal and then states a series of policies calling for such goal that have no sensible way of reaching it (madness) - as for example the whole communism business.
Otherwise it is understandable that people have different goals it'll be nice if they acclaim them openly - then we can debate sometimes we can even agree on the same policy for diff. reasons, or we can understand that we really want different things and go separate ways to separate places, or we can fight it out with arms.
(*or you can be a kike about it and hide all your intentions because you know no-one else shares your groups goals and you'd lose in a fight :P)
I'd say my motivations are rather "right-wing" (by todays standards of course, some times ago I'd see like a bloody revolutionary I guess, see the classical-liberal vs. todays "liberal") - but the definete policies I'd support might be all over the place as they are labeled by talking heads from tv.

Centrism is about trying to satisfy the needs of everyone in society as much as possible. It makes sense in a homogeneous and harmonious society where needs aren't all that diverse between individuals and subgroups. When your society is filled with violent niggers, Muslims, and spics all out for themselves with radically different needs and who are all trying to destroy the dominant culture, you don't meet the requirements to have centrism. Extremism is needed to achieve that prerequisite first.
