The term 'centrist' often appears reasonable but ultimately obscures the political dialogue. It fails to define a set of ideas and instead protects existing power structures.
As Orwell noted, political language is designed to defend the indefensible, employing euphemisms and cloudy vagueness to mask brutal realities and uphold a skewed worldview.
In discussing modern crises like those in Gaza and the West Bank, the term 'centrist' desensitizes the public and distracts from the horror of ongoing violence and tragedy.
The tragic loss of innocent lives often becomes trivial news, demonstrating how centrist perspectives can dilute the urgency of addressing deeply entrenched conflicts.
