Having any beliefs is a meme at this point. If you're in the center, the only difference is that now literally everyone despises you.

Funny how so many self-declared centrists express support for capitalism and establishment power structures and policies. I guess "centrist" is really just newspeak for establishmentarian; itself a nice way of saying "naive," "clueless," "useful idiot," or "wimp." Makes you think.
Also, "radical centrist" is a nonsense and a literal contradiction in terms.

It's the edgiest ideology there is.

The thing about centrism is that it gives the impression of being rational, pragmatic or somehow objective while at the same time it maintains its own interests and conflicts (those of the status quo) out of sight. The reason so many people were radicalised by things like the Haymarket Affair, the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and more recently the killing of Alexis Grigoropoulos is that those were times when the curtain falls down and people who would otherwise be fooled by this veneer of fake objectivity and disinterestedness can come to see that it's not so black and white.

What would the "center" be?
There is no such thing. You are either a socialist or a liberal.
If there had to be one, the centrists would consist of liberal "social democrats'. Not to be confused with the original social democrat of course

Centrism barely exists. Most centrists are either slightly left leaning liberals or slightly less conservative conservatives.
Easton Ortiz
Radical centrism in the sense of "instead of arguing from static ideological standpoints let's just look at what worked and implement it further" is a perfectly valid position.
