Really? The guy who thinks both sides are the same and wants them to kill each other so they’ll all shut the fuck up isn’t a centrist?
Nonviolence is not a requirement to be a centrist. Believing both the American left and right are the same or very similar, and/or believing in horseshoe theory is all that’s required.
You are adding the bit that they want them to kill each other. That’s not a centrist attitude. The centrist would be asking everyone to try to work together rather than forcing others to toe our specific line.
That’s simply not how centrism works. Centrism is not and has never been about nonviolence. It has been about viewing the two major factions in the U.S. as the same or similar, and honestly trying to view or portray oneself as superior to both. Nonviolence can be used for such purposes but is not required.
I used to be a centrist and know many more than you. I’ve dealt with this crap for decades. I know more about it than you do. I’ve rolled with both factions, and there are many centrists who feel the way they do without the nonviolence. Just because you are a centrist and nonviolent doesn’t mean all centrists have to be nonviolent to be a centrist… but that self - centered way of thinking on your part shows centrism is largely about feeling superior to others.
It is called a false equivalence but you can argue that the extreme left/right are much more inclined to violence without making a false equivalence.
Ehh. There are centrists and people from other factions who support violence too, snd extremists who do not. There’s a lot of nuance in the situation
I’d argue if they are arguing for violence they aren’t centrists.

So the issue is you have no idea what centrism means.
The issue is you think centrism means being like you when it is anything but.
