Centrists are just closeted right wingers that don’t want to be criticized for their right wing views.

"I'm neither right not left" = far-right. Always.
We had a similar short-lived party in my region, leading up to this 2026 regional selection. For about 20 days, we had a centre party made up of far-right dickweeds who rejected their party's choice of chief dickweed and started their own.
It was comically bad, but used the same "we're the centre" nonsense while being ver-ry far-right.
Of course, they mended fences and rejoined the mob.
I'm curious, what does the center look like?
Like the center has to be somewhere right? I'm solidly left, but certainly not as left as your average person on Lemmy.
IMO ideally the center should be fine with government provided socialized services and regulation to fully support society, offer everyone the same advantages to change their economic status to middle-class, and prevent wild disparity and capture of the system by wealth yet still allow for people to achieve wealth that, does indeed, allow for some excess but not at the expense of society.
Reminds me of the Apocalyptic Cult in Parks and Rec, the “Reasonableists”

Not typical for parties wearing that name. That being said the German Zentrum (CxU predecessor) did in fact happily vote with the NSDAP in favour of the enabling Act which was the major turning point in establishing Nazi Germany.
