whats the difference between centrist and far right?
a few examples of their polices of what makes them different
Far right beliefs are generally associated (for me) with high religiosity/fundamentalism, crony capitalism, the idea of trickle down economics, extreme self autonomy, anti-science rhetoric, distrust of institutions and experts. There is also a strong streak of authoritarianism like unilaterally making massive decisions and extreme trust of authority (like police, ICE etc).
I think normal conservatism which is fiscally conservative (which is no where to be found) with a strong tie to tradition without blind faith is quite attractive. Conservatism is a very simplistic world view (I do not mean that in a profane manner) that reduces complexity which is literally what humans do in all facets of life. It's the antidote to postmodern sensibilities that deny rigid categories and fall into ontological relativism, essentially, all complexity and zero stability aka a denial of metastable categories.
Centrist views- my views would leave religion out of anything but theology and rely on reason and science or best evidence (bayesian inference. I don't think capitalism without restraint is good and a mixed bag offers the best outcomes for all. Trickle down economics does not work. That is demonstrable. We are a society and you simply can't live as if we aren't (within reason). I trust science within reason and institutions within reason. I am all for the police but they work for us and this authoritarian slant
Centrism is a little bit like bayesian statistics to my mind. Constantly shifting slightly based on new evidence.
