Centrism isn't really a thing. The political centre depends entirely on context and, as it happens, in most contexts is vast enough to include a lot of perspectives with absolutely nothing in common with each other.

Of course what this thread really demonstrates is the deficiency in the education of many people who presumably describe themselves as educated. For instance, what does 'educated' in this context actually mean? You cannot take a term as vague as that as given. Or, rather, if you do don't be surprised if others take you for an idiot.
