"I am not referring to those who follow the regulations and infringements because they are forced to do so, under some threat or penalty, but rather, those who agree with and support all manner of regulation and limitations on what they can and can't do. Where do these submissive/collectivist beliefs, or dare I say again, philosophies, derive from?"
These "submissive/collectivist" believe that these regulations and limitation apply to everyone not just themselves. They want to limit or regulate those behaviours they feel are a threat to society or themselves.
Started long before the ten commandments
They do not feel like they are adding restrictions on their behaviour they are only trying to prevent others from doing things that they did care to do anyway.
Like making prostitution illegal, they did not plan to use a prostitute, or be a prostitute, don't want their children to be or use prostitutes. Would be happy if there were no prostitutes. So why not make it illegal.
