How can it be true that the community is a hive mind, but also that every discussion is a (sometimes 5-layer-deep) argument? If it were a hive mind, wouldn't there be little argument at all?

There is no argument when the opinions being expressed are not of the hive mind it gets downvoted and flagged. You never see dissenting opinions because they're removed from the site.
