A centrist's main point of being a centrist is "forming my own educated opinion instead of subscribing to a club that agrees on the majority of your often-conflicting world view"
It sounds like liberal propaganda to me, idunno why anybody would decide to be a centrist.

I agree, Shinji. However, I find it an almost beautiful thing that all the closet Fascists, Commies, Libertarians, Liberals, and others that make up Centrists are all united by their shared inability to stand up for what they truly believe in.
Admit it Centrist, the hidden Tankie or Nazi that comes out when you see the opposing sides arguments in a meaningless forum, that's the real you.

You guys treat politics like its a nuance art form It's not There's only one way to do it, there is only one right answer People are very easily swayed by the promise of power Which is why many turn to politics
The true individual is one that doesn't want to participate in politics As to why, why should I dictate with my vote whether I should allow or disallow people to do something But the Paradox comes in that they must participate in this system in order to allow freedom to stay
People who do not want to exert power over others are forced to by participating in a system to vote in order to maintain more freedoms
People who want to exert control over others, favor this method, as in a majority vote is more acceptable than only one person making the law

I would never expect caocao to post something actually intelligent. But once again, you miss the point. People like me have political ideals because it effects me and the people I know. If I desired power, I would join a group that shares my ideas.

Who made you the God of choosing what's "actually intelligent?"
You missed my point completely
Centrism doesn't really exist, as political ideologies are binary Trying to be a centrist is pointless, because "Centrism" changes its stance depending on political situation American centrism and French Centrism aren't the same at all
Example: Should sodas be banned? You can either vote YES or NO
Coming to a compromise of only selling sodas half of the week, isn't a centrist view It is a compromise between the binary
Just as one loves chocolate, would eat lots of chocolate That same person fears getting fat, so he won't eat chocolates What would be a "centrist" position here, there can't be Reaching the middle would be a compromise between the opposing reasons
One doesn't reach the middle because they want to, it is a compromise of OPPOSING reasons

Centrism exists, it's just poorly named. You don't have to pick between all left and all right in your thoughts and actions, and what people call centrism is just taking some aspects of both sides and making a new ideology from it. Like how some parts of the American and Canadian constitutions have freedom, and some have order. They're complete opposites, on specific notes you have to pick one, but in the entire law system you can find both in certain areas. Freedom in you can buy what you want, and sell and give what you want, but order in you can't steal without punishment.

Daily reminder that people that shit on centrism are either trying to get clout, or support extremism, (they jack off to the idea of revolution). Or they are simply stupid. Or maybe just a combination of the three.

Where did you get the evidence from?
Extremism is a very loose term, you haven't defined it at all
I simply just believe that in order to be truly free, this voting system should not exist, as it is a tool use to oppress But I know it is the best system we have
Your whole ideas are unfounded and I'm not surprised, I don't expect more from a descendant of Chunkyland
Whatever centrist belief you have, it is simply a watered down belief from a polar view, you are still polarized 10 chocolates 0 chocolates
How many chocolates would be considered "centrist" here?

Cacao, Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I'm getting here is according to you, you have to choose between one or one other in all things, like ten chocolates or no chocolates, and you can't pick anything that no one else agrees with or anything that is neither all nor nothing, like say three chocolates or five chocolates or one. That seems to me like total bullshit, considering most people actually don't go all or nothing, like three or five chocolates.

That's exactly what I'm saying
Reaching to the conclusion to 3 chocolates requires a compromise There is a reason you don't eat more, you will get fat, too sweet, etc There is a reason you don't eat less, you love the taste, etc
Like what you would call a "centrist" policy is a product of polar views coming to a compromise One with a "watered down" view are not strong enough reach a compromise
"Centrists" don't realize that "centrist" policies are a compromise between polar views
This is hard to explain with text than it is to speak about it

This is all assuming the political spectrum is binary. You keep bugging me about objectivity when I'm clearly giving a half-assed expression of my views. In that case, what proof is there that the political spectrum is binary? Nazbol and Anarcho-Monarchism exist unironically.

Politics are binary you twat
There are two main dynamics in politics 1. Structure and concentration of power: Dictator, Different kinds of Federalism, Monarchy, 2. Economy, Social, etc policies
Subdynamics would be how you elect them to power, which is where democracy, inheritance come along
For this case we are only talking about Economy, Social, etc policies
There is no party trying to change the structure or concentration power, these things tend to only happen when there's a revolution Which is how you get Dictators, and Kings back then
You can have a dictatorship and a democracy, it is not a contradiction Nazbol are "radical" nationalism and bolshevism, not a contradiction, these are social and economic policies Anarcho-monarchism is a contradiction, as you can't have 2 kinds of power structures, you can't have no on in power, and one person in power at the same time
Also Anarcho-monarchism is a meme, it's not real
An example of Economical Policies being "centrist" Capitalism vs Communism This can be measured by the percentage of income tax you pay, the closer you get to 100% the more communist You can't be capitalist and communist at the same time, there is a road in between though Socialism, Socialism is a form of communism, Capitalists push towards 0 income tax, less government control over "means of production" Communists push towards 100 income tax, and more government control Socialists push towards a certain income tax, and certain government control A centrist belief might be only taxing the necessary income to maintain military, etc... But this "centrist" belief isn't centrist, it's still socialist, it's a compromise It's not full blown communism, and it's not the ideal capitalist dream

In a binary system, there is no inbetween. Male or female (biologically) 1 or 0 (except for quantum computers). Retarded or not retarded
You cannot have the principles of your binary system to be variables. Plus you can't just group economics and sociology just because you want to be right. There are more than two variables and more than two fundamentals.
Politics is not binary you idiot.

You obviously don't know don't what binary means
You are using computer and biological terminology to talk about politics This is like saying you can't have gray because only black and white exists, and gray is only created when you mix black and white Which is my point
Politics is a social construct, which allows for the color gray to be created

A Spectrum is a binary you twat
It's all a matter of wavelength
It may look a different color, but the universe doesn't see color All it is, is light at different wavelength Longer wave length vs shorter wavelength AKA polar opposites aka binary
