I don't think this is true. There are many groups that are open an affirming to all. The out group isn't "the other" it's just "more of us who haven't joined yet".

What you are describing is common to groups but not universal.

No, the Borg doesn't allow dissent. You can respect dissent while also seeing yourself in another person.
