Machiavellian Victory

Some people say they beat a case in court. There is no such thing as going to court and beating a case, you're still going to lose money every time you enter a courtroom even if the DA/prosecuting team isn't guaranteed a conviction to go on your record, if you haven't already served at least a few weeks in jail for a charge you didn't get convicted of. As long as the machine/system is what you're fighting, what you call a win or beating a case is really just breaking even by not losing everything, and you're always going to lose at least some of your money to part of the machine/system, no matter what. Though that would discourage a lot of people, it doesn't mean that no fight is worth fighting, even if there is no winning in the end.
Machiavellian Victory is a struggle with a Machiavellian force (a Machiavellian prince or princess, a part of the machine) where you don't lose everything for once.

Machiavellian victory

A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.
It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.

Mouth of the South 

People found out who the real blowhard was, and it wasn't a politician, it was the girl from next door that thought she was bad, the baddest thing on the block. No wonder her own family had called her mouth of the south growing up.

Mr. Bean 

The guy from the Mr. Bean movies.
Mr. Bean just pulled out two automatic pistols that looked like movie props and started shooting at him, that actually wasn't funny.
The world is not virtual, so anything virtual is not reality or new reality.
Most people still live in an in person reality and not a virtual reality, no matter what technology is available, or what diseases have spread to where. That isn't going to change as long as people are still mostly human and not inhuman.

Taco Bell Strangler 

Sounds like a guy that stuffs a burrito or gordita down somebody's throat until they are dead.
Female- Ewwww, get that gordita away from, I'm not hungry.

Taco Bell Strangler- You're gonna choke on this fuckin gordita bitch, shut the fuck up.

Conspire 

She conspired to throw the world off course, and into a new reality.
