What political extremists call someone who proposed a reasonable and valid idea or opinions that the extremist cannot argue or refute because the person was right. Instead of opening dialogue about the topic or presenting evidence that disputes the persons the extremists shuts down the conversation by saying that their opinion isn’t valid because it’s “enlightened centrist bullshit.”
In the USA most often used by the progressive extremists in response to any criticism of their ideals, often defended as “morally” correct. Though uncommon, can and is used by conservative extremists in response to criticisms of their ideals, often defended as “tradition.”

Get the enlightened self-interest mug.You don't have those Gayve Jewbin. You've been having the same conversation for 7 years. It couldn't be any more banal at this point.
Hym "Gayve Jewbin doesn't like when people make stuff about him when he doesn't even talk about those people. He says that doing that makes them bad people. Gayve Jewbin has made a ton of videos about Whoopie Goldberg. Who has never talked about Gayve Jewbin. Therefore, Gayve Jewbin is a bad person who doesn't have enlightened conversations. Don't worry Gayve. I'll still save you from Hell."

Get the Enlightened conversations mug.by nonicknameyet January 6, 2024
Get the Enlightened breath mug.At least two types exist:
1. Person who claims to reject what they perceive as "both sides," while ignoring the realization that centrism carries the implication of embracing the virtues of both sides.
2. Person who claims to be moderate, yet exhibits a pattern of behavior that typically and exclusively defends or exempts one ideological belief from criticism.
This phrase is a tongue-in-cheek mockery, often cast upon those who lack self awareness; this flaw is commonly exhibited by those who want to be perceived as having risen above the standard, despite having obvious and often stereotypical biases.
Typically, the Enlightened Centrist takes what they perceive as a neutral position, by claiming "both sides" are flawed. However, the irony of this position is the complete disregard of the possibility that both sides sometimes may be right when it comes to certain issues. Thus, the "Enlightened Centrist" has inadvertently still chosen a partisan position while believing they have somehow conquered the conundrum of opposition.

Person 1: I voted for Joe Biden because I hate Trump. He's much worse.
Person 2: I've seen the results of both. I would rather have had Trump.
Person 1: Both sides are bad! But, I'll pick Biden over Trump any time.
Person 2: Yeah both parties suck, but you can't deny that Trump at least helped our economy.
Person 3: Can both of you Enlightened Centrists shut up? Both of them are morons.
Person 1: Oh, yeah? Then, who did you vote for?
Person 3: Bernie Sanders.
Person 2: ... And you call us "Enlightened Centrists?"
Example 2:
Person 1: I think the Israel and Palestine conflict is dumb. Both sides should stop the fighting.
Person 2: Okay, who stops first?
Person 1. Well, obviously Israel. They're acting out a genocide of Palestinian people.
Person 2: Who started this fight though?
Person 1: Well, obviously Israel. They started it hundreds of years ago when they stole Palestinian land!
Person 2: So, Israel should stop fighting and just let Palestine take their land back?
Person 1: No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I just want the fighting to end.
Person 2: ... By having Israel take the loss. You think you're being an enlightened Centrist, but you're clearly biased.

first theorised by buddist monks within the shanghai region and later confirmed by a research team lead by Isaac Rizzton, Charles Darrizz and Neil deGrizz Tyson

for example: physics has a 1:0 building to beanie ratio, however social studies ratio tends to infinity for the latter, limited only by the size of the building
