Ahh, you gotta love this line. It's akin to a person here saying they're unburdened by language because they only speak English, 'the default'.
"Apolitical" people are not neutral or outside of politics, they preserve the status quo. Which, looking around the place, is not a good position. "Centrist" can mean wildly different things in different countries, but it's essentially just conservatism (as in, conserving, avoiding strong changes in either direction) - the center in Nepal^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Parliament_of_Nepal] ^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastriya_Swatantra_Party#Ideology] is wildly different to the center in the US because their status quo is different.
