I just love how media can completely fuck up a word's definition and then when you actually come in with the correct version everyone yells at you saying "You can't just change the meaning of words like that" and for the record, yeah I can. That's literally the point of language.

Ok, I'll bite, link me to the definition of "centrism" that defines it as "fascist" then.

One party in one country in one time period does not a political philosophy make my friend. Maybe you're Dutch and that's your frame of reference, but that doesn't dictate what the word means worldwide any more than the septic political situation does.

I get the theory but I don't 100% agree with it. Just because someone doesn't think rapid and massive change is the best way to bring society along with your ideas doesn't mean they think massive right wing changes are any better.
