I said that if you are the minority, get conform or face the wrath of all others.

What is the difference? And why can't the others not have wrath, especially when they have not been wronged? An outcast does you no harm by existing; the others, rather, harm him? Are they sadistic? Are you sadistic? Do you enjoy the pain of others? How evil humans are!

I suppose it is impossible to reason with someone who has no morals or principles to live by. I hope you are merely misled and brainwashed. Either way I will be praying for you. I wish you the best.

"especially when they have not been wronged" Not following the socially accepted norms wronging others. You don't go naked to the mall even if it is a hot day. The society does not approve of it and you conform to that regardless of what you think of it yourself.

"morals or principles to live by" No morals or principals that you agree with you meant to say... My morals are simple and straightforward: perform your gender roles, support your family, respect your traditions, be proud of your nation, make sure everyone in you society does their part. In return, you nation owes you your basic amenities, security and protection when you need it.

You don't go naked to the mall even if it is a hot day. The society does not approve of it and you conform to that regardless of what you think of it yourself.

It's not society that should make those decisions, it's the mall owners. If they want to lose all their business because they allow people to run around naked inside that's their own fault.

perform your gender roles

Why should I? No good will come from it. Humans seem absolutely obsessed with this for some reason and I don't know why. Especially for males. It's not good.

support your family

And friends, and those in need, and everyone really.

respect your traditions

Which ones? Some are good, some are pointless, and some are bad. Why should I respect the latter two kinds? It's better for people to think for themselves than to be blindly led off a cliff like sheep.

be proud of your nation

Whether I'm proud of something depends on its fruit. So far most things humans have done bears bad fruit.

In return, you nation owes you your basic amenities, security and protection when you need it.

Which they almost never give, nor is it even close to worth what was taken from us.

"It's not society that should make those decisions, it's the mall owners." Ok. Replace the mall with the park. BTW, I say the mall owners should have no say in how their customers dress. That is not their business.

"No good will come from it. " A healthy society with healthy families and a healthy population growth. The total sum of human happiness increases.

"Some are good, some are pointless, and some are bad." Who are you to decide which ones are which?

"be proud of your nation" Let me rephrase it for you: be a patriot.

"nor is it even close to worth what was taken from us." It is not for us to put a price on our duty.
