You push for true individuality, where people are own agents and don't feel the need to associate (as in mix ones identity instead of subjective taste) with religion, politics, brands or other points of contention.
Problem is that those groups have vested interests and human beings are likely too social and irrational to refrain from belonging to "inner circles" and construct inane belief systems.
Having a slightly autistic streak might help though, to naturally be less immersed in group-think or feeling the need to belong.
We seem to be able to accept differing tastes in for instance food or temperature/weather, so people are capable to disagree on taste without feeling the need to take that difference to an emotional/irrational level and segregate into clans. I guess liking spicy food isn't generally felt to be a crucial defining factor of one's identity... at least to the level of wanting to attack or murder each other.

Unless of course it is about eating animals or not ;)
