I think a mix of moral systems is more resilient. Some consequentialism, some deontology, some gut feeling.
No, I don't think so. Mainstream Islam is deontological, but fundamentalist movements, just like in Christianity, shift to less deontology and more utilitarianism (of course, with a very particular notion of "utility").
Yes, deontology is corruptible as well, but one of the reasons it's more robust is that it's simpler. To be a consequentialist you first need the ability to figure out the consequences and that's a complicated and error-prone process, vulnerable to attack. To be a deontologist you don't need to figure out anything except which rule to apply.
To corrupt a consequentialist it might be sufficient to mess with his estimation of probabilities. To corrupt a deontologist you need to replace at least some of his rules. Maybe if you find a pair of contradictory rules you could get somewhere by changing which to apply when, but in practice this doesn't seem to be a promising attack vector.
And yes, I'm not arguing that this is a sufficient reason to avoid being a consequentialist. But, as you say, it's a good reason to be more wary.
I completely agree. Also because this describes how humans (including myself) actually act: according to different moral systems, depending on which is more convenient, some heuristics, and on gut feeling.
