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.

liberals don't have values in a broader sense. in their day to day lives, sure, but about the world at large? it doesn't impact them, they'll believe whatever needs to be believed to allow liberalism to keep trucking along and extracting profit. supporting peace looks good so they'll talk prettily about it in peacetime, but as long as war doesn't come to the west and everything remains "normal" for them, they don't actually care.
