I wouldn't exactly put it that way. Gallieo was not crossing a "red line" by telling the society of his time that they got the sun/ earth relationship wrong. The crime was the church being afraid of facts and putting him under house arrest for telling the truth.
I would however agree that humans are far too often tribal and afriad of change. I would also argue pets, say cats or dogs especially, are an example of the overlap humans can find beyond our disagreements.
That last is very perceptive. I mean, imagine how bad the Holocaust would have been if Hitler didn’t love dogs.
