Satine's faction and such, the pacifists. The Mandalorians have spent literally thousands of years trying to conquer the galaxy and getting their asses kicked in the attempt. It makes a lot of sense that sooner or later a faction among them would be like, "Hey, guys, this isn't really working, maybe we should try something different." And in fact that's the entire point of the Mandalore arc in TCW, the struggle between people who want something different for the Mandos and groups like Death Watch that want to keep to the old ways, for good or ill.
That was a GOOD idea. The trouble with Disney's slop is that it's full of BAD ideas. Disney threw out the EU and has replaced it with a lot of stuff that's vastly worse, even worse, I'd argue, than the EU at its absolute worst. And even Disney's best stuff has tended to just be old EU ideas with a fresh coat of paint. If you're going to throw out something on the scale of the Expanded Universe, you'd better prove you can replace it with something better. And Disney clearly can't.
