Interesting. I've been reading Paine's response to Burke recently, and wonder about the conservative's use of the old natural rights theory. Paine uses it to show that these human rights aren't subject to arbitrary, divine retraction. Yet the Catholic Church and conservative apologists like Edward Feser ground their prejudices in so-called natural rights, as in amoral animal social norms. Or Jordan Peterson and the alt-right do the same in a social Darwinian manner, when they say that dominance hierarchies are older than trees. This may be a similar co-opting of Enlightenment reasoning to ground pre-modern, anti-humanistic prejudices ("conservative family values").
