The problem isn’t rudeness, the problem is that this approach classifies the great majority of humanity as monkeys incapable of making any noises other than squeaks of affirmation towards the ingroup and screams of outrage towards the outgroup. At the very least, that’s… wasteful.
The truth is often painful. But this “squeaks of affirmation” is the way a group thinks about a problem.
A group might change its opinion about something by expelling some members and accept some fresh meat from the other group.
Or just by reversing its course on something. The fashion changes from time to time. I don’t wear Matrix style outfit anymore. Now it seems to me, I never did. The whole group has changed their wardrobes and forget how elegant we were back then. Or just silly.
“squeaks of affirmation” is the way a group remembers how something is until this group changes its mind about that. By some member shufflings or by adopting the new truth by the majority of its members. Or at least by its Politburo. Purges are necessary sometimes, though.

Yeah, this is painful, but what can you do?
No, this is the way a group maintains its current attitude towards a problem.
Combining the two words -- “group” and “thinking”—is a problem in itself.
