Centrists are almost always right wingers who try and avoid the right wing label.

I'd say half.

The other half is truly so clueless that they think "both sides are the same and we need to find the middle ground". Which in itself is a major bastardisation of the doctrine of compromise (which says that in a sane system, often the best solution is a compromise between differing parties).

However that doctrine cannot apply to debates about human rights, as one cannot compromise on those.

I have never met, seen, or even heard about this mythological centrist that isnt a hard righter in disguise.

and everything you just laid out as examples are heavily used by said hard righters in online discourse (even the ones pretending to be centrists).

That was me when I was, like, 15. I was between the "two sides". The Republicans I was surrounded by were nutzo, but I didn't know anyone more left, other than my parents who "didn't talk politics" (but generally were ok with the queers and not-whites in a nonspecific way). I toyed with the idea of anarchism because I hated being told what to do, settled on the label "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" with the asterisk that social programs tended to be cheaper solutions to issues than Republican. This all would have been around the hanging chad controversy. I think that's when I first noticed national politics.

Then I went off to college and my horizons expanded.
