The word "centrist" didn't really sink in until I started seeing privileged people
- in the USA ignoring/denying the genocide their president has enabled
- in France not willing to work with the left to defeat the far right
- in the UK, speaking out against the disruption caused by environmental protestors because "economy", even supporting laws that erode our democratic rights to protest
to me "centrist" had come to mean dangerous through ignorance and selfishness
