A faction competes with other factions, and has a tendency to view some things the same way - it may formally cooperate or list some values or principles. It has its own view of the glossary. Any funded trolls advancing a view implies there must be a faction with that view - maybe not one that Consumerium:Itself can see.
Often it is assigned a colour on the political spectrum, like Reds for Communists, Yellows for Libertarians, Orange for Trade Unionists or Syndicalists, Pinks for Feminists, Greens for Ecologists or Blues for Globalists.
