I do enjoy the notion of "I'm left because life is complex" as if to imply less thought is being put in by 'others.' Indeed I've been doing much reading and thinking and in doing so become rather right-wing "because life is complex" and I am willing to take it to a moral level.
I'm prepared to say that there are indeed two morality systems functioning. The one that we are consciously aware of is what I deem 'short-term morality,' I dont think i need to go into that. The second one is more obscure: long-term morality deals with the stability of civilization/society and beneficial/positive human evolution.
Ancient humanity had inklings towards such notions despite not yet being articulated by theories of evolution and vast histories, but our old traditions did a good job of merging the two systems. To believe that the old ways were so irrational is arrogant I would say; imperfect perhaps but to discard is a dangerous ambition. Yet with the American and French revolutions came the the raising supreme of short-term morality with notions of freedom/liberty (American, spilling into Europe) and equality/equity (European, spilling into America) and the slow dismantling and discarding of traditions as a result.
A dark cloud broils in the horizon, of which we see the symptoms in the degeneracy ("sin") of our times. When children are given too much freedom they tend to self-destruct themselves; the trouble is that the majority of adults are rather large and aged children who too self-destruct. There are indeed no victimless crimes for civilization/society pays in end. If self-discipline has gone out the window then so too will freedom in time lest collapse be risked. No longer is libertarianism a defensible position in my eyes, leftism much less.
To put the notion in terms of morality is a revolutionary act, the leftists did this years ago and now we must do the same

Creating respect for the individual does not lead to the destruction of tradition. Individualism founded on the fundamental worth of the rights of people to determine their own lives is what gives tradition its value.
Collectivism destroys tradition.
