Perhaps an ontology of groups is in order. In USA we look at
statistical groups for demographics, you know groups to sell
something to or voting blocks. Then there are belief groups such as
churches and fringe groups such as sovereign state people or Aryan
nation or tax rebellion. The positive progressive groups such as
unions or environmentalists are usually demonized by both the right
wing and the mass media. It's odd but I think you see the full force
of consumer capitalism at work on warping information.
