I have a friend who claims to be a "classical Liberal", which I thought was something to do with maritime trading regulations during the 1700s, but they'll talk about how much they love Jordan Peterson and all of these conservative thought leaders, and then I'll ask them "what about healthcare?" "what about social workers for disabled people?" "what about childcare subsidies when corporatism has made having a baby financially impossible?" "what about education? do you support free post-secondary education so that people can be as qualified as possible?"

Their answers generally align with Leftist values. Some people only think they're conservatives because the myth of fiscal responsibility and "common sense" is attractive to people who haven't taken a Civics course.
