A factor present in all institutions measuring the questionable beliefs and practices that people new to the organization must accept in order to fit in and function with others in it. The expression is derived from the Jonestown mass suicide where followers of Jim Jones drank poisoned soft drinks (off brand Kool-Aid).
Alcoholics Anonymous is a great organization, but if you join it, know that it has a Kool-Aid factor.

Get the all in the Kool Aid and don't even know the flava mug.Drawn from the mass suicide of 914 followers of cult leader Jim Jones in 1978 by drinking Flavor-Aid laced with cyanide (known as the "Jonestown Massacre"). Someone who "Drank the Kool-Aid" has so bought into their leader's vision or cause they will blindly follow to their own doom.
Other companies adapted and were successful. However, James continued to believe his bosses were right not to adapt--even after the company had to file for bankruptcy. James really "drank the Kool-Aid".

Get the Drank the Kool-Aid mug.Foreign aid is domestic theft. Foreign aid is stealing money from poor people in rich countries and giving to rich people in poor countries. It’s not even aid—it’s corruption, a bribe to get them to accept US mandates. Foreign aid never helps poor people; it just buys cocaine, SUVs, and whores for the gangster-warlord ruling class of that country. Foreign aid is exactly the sort of internationalist evil that the US was supposed to be founded in opposition to; it’s socialized evil for foreigners...
1. If you support the government stealing 1/3 of our pay at IRS gunpoint every year and giving to evil foreigners: murdering-raping-torturing Islamic gangsters like Nouri Al Maliki and Hamid Karzai, oppressive/murderous Israel, chick/baby slaying African warlords--you’re a goddamn traitor and you oughta be killed with a pipe.
2. You support foreign aid? Get the fuck out of my car right now. I’m serious.
