The Individual Versus The Group

When a group closes ranks against a rebel individuator in its midst, it it like two giants fighting an uneven battle. The feisty individual is but one physical person but is a moral giant. The 15 people in the mob opposing him move as one giant, powerful physical being that is a moral midget.

Usually the loner is good and the joiners are wicked, so it is a classic war between good and evil. It is the power of the powerful, empowered individual conflicting with the united, impressive herd, the awesome bonded power of powerlessness.
