On this I fully agree with you.

See my other post about this same subject: my opinion is that these
diverse groups should identify themselves and explicit their goals so
that their influence do not play in the background, but in full light.
Then we can find decision processes and make informed choices.

It's a sociological work we have to do. We must x-ray the community and
know what it is made of exactly. Give it some structure.

Easier said than done of course.
