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?"

I think the reason "Centrists" usually align with the right, is because the left is geared toward giving more money and power to the people, and the right is trying to prevent the elite from losing that money and power.

The "Centrists" hear both sides, feel icky about letting "men" in women's restrooms, but also don't want slavery or racism, so they decide to keep things how they are (what they consider "normal" or "the center") which only benefits the people who currently have the power, which aligns with the goals of the right.
