The more centrist you are, the more correct you are. So if you aren’t centrist enough, you need to centre even harder until the fence spike is poking right up your arsehole. Then you can feel smug as you look down on all the “extremists” and give a wink to the Nazi.
An anarchist walks in to a bar, sees the bartender missing, hops over and starts serving drinks.
A Nazi walks in to the bar and starts beating the shit out of a patron.
A centrist follows the Nazi in to the bar, sees what’s happening as the anarchist hops over the bar to try to stop the fight. The centrist insists on hearing the Nazi out, accuses the anarchist of being violent, and when the bartender finally comes back to run the bar, the centrist accuses him of stealing.
