Ever notice these types that go around saying "just ignore them they have no power", or "its both sides" or "dont be as bad as them" whenever there is backlash against leftists doing shit things or trying to bully others, yet when leftists are trying to cancel others suddenly these people are no where to be seen?

"Its both sides" has a valid point. Good people on both sides, as Trump would say.
Shitposting aside, I'm an inverted centrist. Political compass-wise, I'm quite close to center, but I am heavily opinionated on politics. Just I have what that very limited test would call conflicting opinions. Left, right, up, down. Add 'em all up, get "0". But I have certainly voiced my opinions.
The "apathetic center", however, is defined by their apathy. They aren't centrist because they believe in the power of taxation as a sword and shield in economic warfare while disagreeing with the usage of tax generally, or some other odd combination of strong opinions, If I'm adding 50 to -50 to get 0, they're adding 2 or 3 to -2, -3. The only reason they voice any opinion at all, is because the media tells them to. They voice their pre-recorded lines, beep boop beep, and in their effort to distance themselves from any meaningful political views, they have now became the unwitting pawns of it.
In short, to answer your rhetorical, the apathetic center is populated almost entirely by Useful Idiots.
