If you think centrism exists then you are still beholden to last century's social conditioning.
There is no political compass, there is a political vector. The origin is normalcy and the further from the center you go in any direction is degeneracy.
Your position is determined by how far away from the origin you think there should be social sanctions and how far you think should be legal sanctions.
The "economic question" is a distraction that those who want to push the boundaries use to prevent more normal people from uniting against them.
This. Disregarding all else the fact that the majority of people believe in the idea of a "political compass" and cannot imagine any other view or stance that does not fit into that model is a huge problem
