Radical centrist

I don't even know how I would respond to that. Would they just fire up the charcoal grill anytime something happens?

In 19th century France, there was this guy talking about « extreme center » to describe views intolerant to anything not in an arbitrarily proclaimed middle ground.

The concept has become quite popular to describe Macron and his quite authoritarian style.

My grandparents killed Nazis and were willing to nuke the Commies if they crossed the line. They had a lot of experience in fighting in urban combat so nobody dared to fuck them over. They were radical centrists were they not? Under radical centrism we achieved the peak of human prosperity.
