More books for you :-)

Never Split the Difference. And Nonviolent Communication.

Because just listening to others, and showing that you care about and understand what they're saying, can go a long way. Not always a need to actually do anything in the real world (or to say or pretend that you agree).

Maybe theoretically this won't place you in their old group, still, you'll a bit form a new group where you and that other person are friends

Or you become a traitor to everyone and are rewarded as one deserves.

These tactics are just that, they are not strategies. They are not long term successful or sustainable.

The things on your mind are misunderstandings. Not sure exactly what you think, but what you wrote made no sense to me.

It seems you haven't read any of the books.

I did use the listening technique in Never Split... and it worked well, and long term good effects too for everyone. -- When listening to the other person, one gets a bit more open oneself -- sometimes the other person does have (partly) good ideas (although not in that case) and it's simpler to find something that works.
