While I agree that calling centrism just fascist in a disguise wouldn't be apt without context, the political support the centrist parties and people gave to the most nutjob right wing, fascist or fascist-tendency showing parties have made the left hardened against the "can't we all get along" wolf cries of the center aimed at them and not the right wingers, while the said right wingers kept chipping away at freedoms and human rights everywhere.

I called myself a centrist till about 5-6 years ago. I know all the views one can rightfully hold there, mostly wrapped around constructive criticism of the left, but also the naive and exploitable inexperienced approaches one can fall into and play into the hands of fascists-ideologies-in-disguise, mostly presented as detracting propaganda when you develop an eye for it.

On top of this, there is also the real fascists-in-disguise posing as harmless, well wishing centrists that prey on dejected centrists' need for belonging, abusing it via inclusionary gatherings and confusing it via sidetracking the topics with false, thought killing presumptions.

The left already has its own criticisms in it, including conservative or traditionalist approaches in a non-american connotation. Actually I would argue the left is more grounded in its traditionalist approaches than the right. For example, the cyberpunk dystopia is often attributed to diversified and uncontested will that is confused by the left's diversified and unhindered rights, while in reality the right's diversified political-corporate speech and uncontested will that don't respect others' rights are leading us into it.

With the left already being capable of covering the tradition, common sense, and unity among its reason-based thought system, a centrist or right wing defense of such topics is justifiably left out to being considered a backwards, exploitable and abusable naive or disguised confusion propaganda.

And on top of this, today's social, political, economic, ecological, etc. environment in all its aspects is suffering the results of the half-assed and exploitable leeways given to the right wing parties and corporations for decades during the cold war period when most of the both western and eastern political hemisphere fell into us vs them fascist underlying ideologies. Do you expect any more leniency given to the exploitable or already exploited centrist ideologies after the decades of backsliding it helped grow?
