What is this "we"?

Both the problem and the glory of things, is it is Individualist vs Collectivist. Even "Muh Jews" is just a collectivism complaint, complaining that they're the most in-group-biased and out-group-harming. It all boils down to a distaste for collectivist ideologies.

The problem lies in the fact that it is individualist versus collectivist. It isn't 150 million versus 150 million, it's 150 million individuals who all happen to be against 150 million people all marching in lockstep with specific goals, oppressions, and dictats in mind.

So of course it is divided. We have 150 million different opinions. Some overlap, sure, but others don't. And we interact with each-other more than we interact with the opposition, and therefore, our non-overlap is highlighted more often to us, than the clear MASSIVE non-overlap with the opposing ideology. The opposing side is a cult-level echo chamber, they have no different opinions. They gain one opinion dictated from above, and no matter how contrary to prior opinions, it is now fact to them.
