I can imagine… because neither the made-in-fong-kong, look-at-it-sideways-and-it-breaks bullcrap right-wingers in the US calls “libertarianism” nor the authentic and original socialist conception of the term leaves any room for anything that can be called “centrist.”

Ehhhhh I does just say right wing. So still fits.

And since libertarians are just republicans wearing silly hats…

Except it’s probably true. In the US centrist is usually used as a way go say between the two parties. In reality it’s used to say between capitalism and basically everything else. So groups like the democrats are on the right. The are what’s generally referred to as “right of center.” They are not in the center of the right, but just a little past centrist. And to he exact, they would be authoritarian right of center on the political compass.

The Republicans are further right and further into the authoritarian square.

So for you to be lib center, you would need to be to the left and further south from the democrats

Which means the dems are between you and the Republicans

But yet even though you’re closer to dems politically, you prefer the ones that are so far removed from you that you likely have little to nothing in common

Vs the dems who are closer to you politically

Feel free to make it make sense, but the majority of the time I see other Americans talk about being center or libertarian, they really mean right wing authoritarians who just want no taxes and sometimes legal weed

Edit: Also, “I’m giving you the look you’re giving me” is just “No u”. But k
