Well, according to this video which I like, perhaps 20% of people are "lone wolves" rather than "pack wolves" (e.g., the number of people that just can't be hypnotized):
Actually, there is no crime or stupidity great enough that the people who go along wouldn't have an advantage as long as the majority does it.
Let's directly jump the endboss of all examples:
You live in 33-45 Germany. If you go along and join the party, this will help you with a nice career. If you oppose, it might lead to losing everything, even your life.
After 45, you can just go with "we didnt know better", "everyone did it" or even "I was forced". Who's going to judge you? The majority of people who did exactly the same?
Not even externals (allies) can judge too hard, if they dont want to kill everyone and work with the country.
You keep your career steps while the ither guy is still dead or starts at zero.
Just make sure to not be in the first line, with the loudest individuals, where people might remember your individual role when the wind turns.
Unfortunately, being a sheep seems to be evolutionary advantageous and I dont see any countering mechanisms.
Lol, I’m following you,(moar lol). On the band aid comment, that is better than 1/4 of 6th grade spent in the hall. Darn, if only I had conformed and got in line all this scorn could be erased. But certain to this day, that was who I am.
Did I mention rolling marbles to the front of the classroom? Oh never mind.

Heh, I came to the same conclusion.

Would well explain why most people act like this.
