This is some crazy doublethink shit. It's clear just looking at the inconsistent interpretation from all the top-level comments that 'centrist' is a blanket term that both describes 'centrist' positions and also 'left/right radicals'. The only consistent is whether the subject is subjecting the in-group to criticism

The same user constantly harps on 'far-left' progressives complaining about democratic positions, and calls himself a centrist.

This is just standard 'out-group' gatekeeping. "If you're not with us, you're against us" shit.

An older acronym for the same thing, BSABSVR

Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican.

Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican.

God, growing up, I heard the equivalent of that so often from the less-lead-poisoned of my conservative community.

"Well, you don't really know what's true, and both sides lie. Really, both parties are just out for themselves. There's no difference between them."

"So you aren't voting?"

"Oh no, I'm definitely voting Republican."

That may be the worst acronym I've ever seen.

Another one I noticed is they say shit like "well they're saying two opposite things, so you cannot know the truth". Mother fucker, if you dig a tiny bit the truth is out there, waiting for you, but they cannot accept one side is lying (it's theirs)

As long as you're amoral and self-serving, you can only be a "right winger", whatever that means. It's only when you dispel the myth of moral relativism and believe that, yeah, some things ARE wrong (and we should avoid and condemn them, of course), that you can start becoming a person worth existing and worth listening to. And if you're not very smart nor very brave you might be a "non radical" "leftist" but hey, your heart is probably in the right place so I'm not gonna hate (too much).
