some people just want to feel accepted by a group
Therein lies my estimation of your underestimation. The ones that don't are the Unabomber. Even the very individualistic people on this board want acceptance by the other members. Some won't admit it, but they want it.

The case of the leader being changed by the group is Castano to me. He didn't want to traffic drugs, but there were so many that insisted on it, he agreed. Also, he needed the money to keep the group happy. His acceptance of the group will led to the ruination of the group and him.
