Strawman argument: I appreciate you putting centrist in quotes to differ them from the agreed upon definition, But thats just an apologist. Theres no need to redefine centrist, there is a word for fake centrists.
To add to this there is IMO no such thing as a "true centrist". All people are going to allign themselves with certain ideals and are not disconnected from the society that they comment on.
The closest thing Ive come across would be a person who ignores all other ideals and simply wants to minimize harm. Even this, taken to an extreme would lead to a totalitarian system so intense that peace would feel like a prison
