I think the cherry-picked examples at the beginning completely ignore the massive number of examples throughout history where groups of people pushed back against mainstream society. A lot of them were hurt or died in the process but societies throughout history have been changed by people who refused to fit in.

Yes. But my argument is about what's the best strategy for the majority!

The best strategy for the majority is homogeny, right? Just go with what others say to do 100% of the time offering no input yourself until the distribution of people becomes homogenous.
