Centrism is childish, petulant and obsessed with the aesthetics of politics instead of the realities.
I was someone who was frequently bullied at school and was constantly implicitly taught to expect nobody was going to do anything meaningful about it precisely because the school system didn't want to upset anyone (other than me, incidentally, they seemed fine with that).

@dzuk I eventually realised that the school allowed and accepted a certain level of bullying because the fear of being bullied helped maintain the status quo.
The same principle applies to centrists. The violence that maintains the status quo doesn't touch them so they either close their eyes to it or accept it as the cost of their privileges.
