What do you do when the whole world is working against you? You don't stand a chance, anyway, so why not give up instead of making a fool of yourself? Why not just do what everyone else does? It works for them.
Because that's not what God tells us to do.
Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will."
If you just go along with what the world does, you are not fitting into God's plan. The world's plan and God's plan are completely different. The world's plan in self-centered and self-serving, while God's plan is selfless and serves others.
If God is the only one on your side, and the whole world is pushing against you, the whole world is incredibly outnumbered by the Almighty God. God is never defeated, he holds no grudges, has no hatred or sin, and will love you forever. So why would you even want to think about taking the world's side?
So what do you do with the world pushing against you? Push back, with all of your might, and let God lead. You don't need the world. You do need God.
