"centrist" assholes do be thinking if you make your debate opponent mad you win

nevermind that genocide, exploitation, apartheid, capitalism, etc, should all make any level-headed sane person incandescent with rage

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.
