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.

    Some people are just Lawful-Neutral, to use the old DND alignment metaphor.

    Personally I think it's one of the most frustrating world views. At least with evil I understand that they're getting something out of it.

    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.
