There is no question that if what the bourgeois individual wants is strength, he or she should lock up with others who share similar views to his or hers. As a pure individual, you are only as strong as your last impulse. However, a bourgeois individual who proclaims him- or herself to be ruggedly individual and then resorts to a moral argument when he or she does not get their way is nothing short of a hypocrite.
By the way, I consider that Nietzsche's conception of the psychologically strong individual has nothing in common with the bourgeois concept of individuality. Nothing.
