In the historical or conventional social setting, a great soul is almost always socially isolated. There may be those that are hybrid groupists that are weak individualists/½ individuators. They may enjoy being pals with the great soul, until they both encounter full joiners, or the joiners demand that the hybrid individuators side with them, or be canceled and made outcast like they have done to the great soul.
The semi-individuator will usually sell out the great soul, join with the mob to save himself, and indeed may end up being the most militant, active, cruel persecutor of the great soul to demonstrate his allegiance with the mob.
These ancient patterns of the individual versus the group are so universal, so commonplace, and so repetitive that they seem like Jungian archetypes playing out, and the participants are acting out subconsciously some ancient drama, for which they may have some free will in selecting, but to a large degree that they are responsible for what they do is difficult to determine.
