Centrism is also the ultimate defense of the status-quo, meaning you have a bias towards the status-quo. The fallacy here is that the status-quo is reasonable therefore being a centrist is reasonable and being a not-centrist is unreasonable. Just because the status-quo is the status-quo and is in the "middle" does not make it reasonable. For example, the status-quo in Israel right now is performing a genocide. The centrists in Israeli politics are pro-genocide. The "extremists", as you say, are anti-genocide. The current political landscape of the US is far-right. Where does that leave centrists? This is up to you to dissect. |
