No, centrism is the uncritical acceptance of the political extreme that is currently in power. It rejects nuance on and critical questioning, because that might lead to believes other than the current status quo.
It is the certainly not the opposite to being a coward, and it is synonymous with being intellectually lazy; like relying on thought terminating cliches such as “the truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle”

Honestly, liberals have spent the last decade worrying about misinformation and fake news, while giving a complete pass to some of the worst offenders, like the NYT.

They’ll continue to kill by the hundreds of thousands in the middle east.
Given that NATO is actively supporting the worst thing going on the world (as usual), yes?

Not being a liberal 99% of the time and only bringing out the facade of anarchism when you need to justify acting like a western chauvinist.
You can’t be an anarchist and a fanatical supporter of the democratic party at the same time
