So in order to protect yourself from the greater problems that arise from being oppressed by another group, people must bit the bullet on some things even if they don't agree.

This is precisely why large modern centralized authorities are completely ridiculous and inhuman. There are no real voluntary societies, and thus no real freedom. They are all barbarian states based soley on the use of force to oppress one group or another.
