Not all centrists are guilty of bothsidesism. It may the case in some countries. In my country centrists equally hate far right and far left (certainly a false equivalence) and want compromise with neither.
That’s not centralism that’s just demanding reasonability from government.
Extremists from both sides of the political spectrum tend not to exist in the real world, so it’s not hard to be against them.
It’s perfectly acceptable to argue that both sides have a good point, provided that both sides actually do have a good point. However often times, one side (usually the right but not always) have a policy of been actually cartoonishly evil. How do you both sides that? Obviously you cannot so any attempt to do so gets you branded as a useless fence sitter.
So when people say they don’t like centralists, that’s the reason, because they do stuff like that and refuse to accept that sometimes one side is actually right.
That’s a good take on bothsidesism.
