WHAT THIS MEANS
The only thing everything has in common is that no two of them match. Even people who agree with each other hold the same position for different reasons, with different edges and different things they would not give up. Treating a group as a single mind is convenient and almost always wrong.
When you next say that a group thinks something, pick two actual members and find where they differ. That difference is usually where the useful information sits. It is also where you will find the person you can talk to.
