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 
center of the political compass and is the mascot of Polcompball. They believe the best solution to all problems is an exact compromise between all four quadrants.
This leads them to advocate things that are 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.
They are also the only Polcompball who can accurately and fairly pinpoint any other polcompball on a political compass, as they have no bias like the others.
