I absolutely agree with you on natural rights. And I also see the danger conservatism poses to liberty.
Still, I think they’re more reachable than leftists and we need to insist precisely on the fact that natural rights and their logical derivation are all the rules we need. If Peterson could understand that I think he could agree. Conservatives simply misunderstand Libertarianism and think we need the State to impose the set of rules.
I think conservatives are actually more dangerous for liberty than leftists precisely because of that misunderstanding, but that is why we should seek to educate them, because you’re never getting statism out of leftism, but it could happen with some conservatives.
I hope you understand my view.
