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.
