Overton window seems to shift left

I'd agree. First principles, especially without consideration of large groups, probably sets us somewhere on the right but large groups create a leftward current.

That is the trend empirically

But maybe it’s the rule of large groups or bureaucracy or organization

Have you heard of Conquest law?

No but I can dig it:

  1. Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
  2. Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.
  3. The behavior of any bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.
