Dead Centrism

"This article is about the mascot of the subreddit and the strawman of Centrism. For other uses, see Centrism."

Dead Centrism is a ball inhabiting the exact centre of the political compass. He believes the best solution to all problems is an exact compromise between two extremes.

This leads him to advocate things considered very extreme and wacky for a centrist, like gassing half the Jews as a compromise between gassing no Jews and gassing all of them. He is the mascot of Polcompball.

How to Draw

 * 1) Draw a ball,
 * 2) Split the ball into four separate quadrants with black (#141414) lines,
 * 3) Fill in the quadrants clockwise starting at the top left in the following order: pale red (#FF6262), pale blue (#00B1FF), pale yellow (#FFFF80) and pale green (#00FF88),
 * 4) Draw a dark red (#CC0000) circle in the middle of the four quadrants,
 * 5) Add the eyes and you're done!

Political Compass
Like some Centrist ideologies, Dead Centrism is on the exact center.

Positive

 * [[File:Centrist-yellow.png]] All the other centrists - I like them, but they lean more towards a side of the political compass than I'd like.
 * [[File:Anrad.png]] Anti-Radicalism - Understands that the extremes must be stopped, but doesn't understand everyone else must be stopped too.
 * [[File:Liqdem.png]] Liquid Democracy - Direct and Representative democracy simultaneously? This the compromise of the century.
 * [[File:Capcom.png]] Capitalist Communism - Half and half. That's good.

Neutral

 * Almost everyone else - Just maintain balance guys, and try to move towards the center.

Negative

 * [[File:Antcent.png]] Anti-Centrism - All the worst extremes in one.
 * [[File:Antcomp.png]] Anti-Realism - Even worse extremes in one.
