Egregores are composed of, *run on*, multiple human brains, potentially millions of them, but they are (usually) far less complex, *lower-dimensional*, than humans. It's a bandwidth issue: an egregore doesn't only rely on language for transmission, but for all of its cognition.
But to get back to your question, certainly there are individual humans who are skilled at assembling mobs and sending them after their enemies, for instance.

Yes, but that’s not really collective action. That is people being exploited and guided by a force that is for all intents and purposes external to whatever group is being flimflammed. I am taking about a group that chooses to work together, that shares values and understandings.
