On the same note - don’t subsidize companies full of activists. Center is a good place to be, radicalism doesn’t help anyone.

If your idea of "the center" is "precisely between the two current mainstream left-wing and right-wing parties", then right now you'll end up with something along the lines of "well, some genocide is OK, so long as it's of people I don't like." There's no special virtue in saying "both sides have good points" all day long, no matter who the sides are that you're dealing with. The political center, by any objective measure, is way, way to the left of what the "center" is in the US right now. Or, to put this all more succinctly: I don't think anyone whose primary position is "Nazis are bad and we should treat them the way we did in WWII" should be classified as an "activist."
