My mom kinda has this mindset. She’s tends to follow rules by the book with little to no questions asked. She’d probably turn further right if it weren’t for my dad tempering her.
Hey now some of us aspire towards chaotic good or fuck even chaotic neutral. But I’ve got autism and C-PTSD, I don’t like leaving my house so the best I can do is yell butchered Icelandic curses at bible thumpers.
The “lawful neutral” mindset that you mentioned is about self-preservation. It’s about keeping your head down and not making a ruckus, or else it’s your head that will be on sight. But some people inherently believe in order, and prefer the stability it brings for not questioning the authority.
