You are right. There are certain personal freedoms that need to be sacrificed for a society to function. I got a little ahead of myself there, thank you

In Peterson's case it's simply conformity, validating the false truth of the administered world as though it comprised totality — JerseyFlight

I strongly disagree with you that Peterson advocates for conformity. One only has to look so far as when he talks about Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn or Nazis. All are stories of entire societies getting wrapped into conformity resulting in, as you say, genocide and totalitarianism. He uses these stories as warning to what can happen when a collection of individuals allows themselves to be consumed by ideology without scrutiny or thought. The stories are brought up to encourage people to wrestle with the part of themselves that would allow for ideological possession to the point of being an accessory to genocide. He champions the individual because it is what needs to be most respected in a functioning society.
