The "middle-ground" which you claim to find yourself sitting on is not a static place. The status-quo has been shifting steadily to the Left for decades.
Yes, some Right-wing political parties have won elections here and there but they mostly spend their time fiddling with taxes and economic registers. Meanwhile the Left-wing subverts the culture, infiltrates the institutions and imposes their ideology on the masses through media, academia, even in the corporate world.
The "centrism" of today is what conservatives 70 years ago would have regarded as left-wing.
Centrism as such, is wishing to do nothing other than preserve the status-quo.
Therefore if you call yourself a centrist you need to be honest with yourself and you need to do a bit of thinking. Are you more inclined towards the Left or the Right? If you don't know, go do some reading.
Because at the moment, given that the left largely controls the culture, centrism is nothing more than a gradual drift towards the Left, disguised as political neutrality.

No, preserving the status quo is conservatism - indeed that is how the word was derived.
Centrism isn't finding the middle ground on all issues; it's having an opinion that's classified as left on some issues and right on many others. Having said that, centrists do listen to the arguments of both sides, so are far more likely to settle on the middle ground.

>centrists do listen to the arguments of both sides Pfft, not the ones I've encountered. They are prone to say "le left and right are big dumb dumbs I am smart and above it all"
Colton Taylor
Try asking them about real issues rather than their opinion of left and right.

Good post. But centrists are extremely disingenuous and will ignore any arguments like these. Being "moderate" to them is every bit the same as far leftists/SJWs etc being "progressive". Optics are the only thing they care about. Not functional or healthy societies.

By you very own logic, your "conservatism" is nothing by past centrism and even older leftism.

Authoritarian centrism is the only correct political ideology. Everything else begs for an unstable society.

Surely you notice how the modern left are nothing but complete puppets for the globalist elites who own every bank, every major corporation, every mainstream media company, and control the education system? Those elites have been steadily declining the entire West through their vast control to make us easier to take over by their future one world government. By being a centrist, you're letting them accomplish their goal, and what do you think will happen when you're under the boot of a one world government, with nowhere to escape from them? No more freedom, you do everything they tell you like a slave, or they kill you. Is that what you really want by continuing to be a centrist, instead of becoming a nationalist and fighting for your own freedom and sovereignty against the globalists who want to take it away? Fight them now or become their slave/be executed by them later. That's the choice.
Michael Young
The main conflict is nationalist vs. globalist, and only one side gives you any kind of future. You want change, you need to get rid of all the globalist puppets in Congress, and among the judges, and in the government agencies, and in the media, and the bankers and globalist corporate executives and teachers and professors.
Joseph Ortiz
You're not making a good point. You could apply the same logic to any ideologies over time. You targeting one just shows that you have an agenda. Faggot.

Ayden Smith
I believe you're mistaken when you describe centrism as a location on the Left/Right continuum. Rather, from my perspective I reserve the right to examine and evaluate the issues independently. I have no need to buy into anyone's aggregate bullshit. I also recognize that the framers of the Constitution deliberately created the two party system to allow compromise to flourish.
Kevin Harris
This is true,you know why so manny fascists came to power during the 1930s?Because back then the average man was a rscist,anti semite and heavly nationalist.Back then the consensus was that non-whites are not human and simething must be done about the jews. For that day extremism meant murdering 6 gorilion,today extreme right means saying that niggs are inferiour and you dont want to live with them and that islam is not peacefull. As a fascist i have to say centrists will either join us or also get the rope.As a centrist you are fucked its either the commie firing squad,the nazi one or the beheadind done by mudshits. Its better to be in a firing squad than in front of one so pick your poison you have 3 fat choices.
