I often see on here that someone that says they are Center just means they are right wing.

Eg. this post https://piefed.social/c/wikipedia@lemmy.world/p/2492350/centre-party

Center Party = Far right.

And I get that that is often true, but that got me thinking, when is someone actually “Center?”

    It’s “centrist”, but anyway.

    When they agree about as much with the local left as the local right. It’s all relative, What the ends even stand for can be completely different, depending on where and when you are. (Examples are available, if that sounds hard to believe)

    Edit: And yet, people still downvote and walk away.

    That one always gets pushback, but I can defend it to the end of the Earth and back. The idea that the left and right are immutable has counterexamples in the last few decades, and completely falls apart, like wet toilet paper, if you go back centuries.
