I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.
![the thought cabinet for KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE. the image in the background is art created by artist Anton Vill, in the style of Hieronymus Bosch and Eduard Wiirald, depicting a surreal blend of man, animal, and machine.
KINGDOM OF CONSICENCE
Bonuses from the thought:
Moralist dialogue options heal +1 Morale
Learning cap for Volition raised to 5
Learning cap for Logic raised to 5
PROBLEM / [SOLUTION]
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

About halfway through season four of Blowback. Genuinely some of the most insightful commentary on Afghanistan I’ve heard in years
