How to understand meta-conversing?

How to describe, to understand, meta-conversing? How do we meta-converse? How do we invite our conversations to converse?

For instance, the liberal camp and the conservative camp each converse within themselves and complain about the other, and occasionally stop to hurl verbal IEDs at the other camp. It is camp against camp, not so much with a particular person (unless that person exemplifies the camp). But there is no engagement.

So one question is how to get conversations to take one another in. This does not necessarily require individuals to even hear other individuals. When the two flows find a common stream, then they intermix. Perhaps. Oil and water do occupy the same stream banks. They do not have to like each other.
