Just as a group of crows is a murder, a group of sheep is a herd...
A group of assholes is a collective

Collective Machiavellianism in plain is the same as normal Machiavellianism, but enacted by a group of people, big or small.
This group will use whatever means they can, and if required, will use unethical means to achieve the goals they want, historically, it has been associated with fearmongering from demagogues to get populations of their followers on goal with their fearmongered ideals, such as the Salem Witch Trials, or the McCarthy era and red scare in general.
other times Collective Machiavellianism is simply caused by a group being forced to obey the status quo or other standards imposed on them by the group that subjugates them to carry out the overall Collective's will, whether good or bad. It will more than likely always end up in a bad context as the aim is for the Collective to gain the necessary power to carry out the aims their reaching out for, then maintain them regardless of the means needed to do so. Historically, often seen at the terrible expense of others not a part of that group, such as the many workers in the McCarthy era that were practically barred from their jobs after being fired for being alleged communists within their communities.
At times, even people in the Collective may be completely opposed to the Collective's ideals but feel that they must conform regardless; this is usually acquainted to the lucifer effect.
One of if not the greatest evil within Humanity. Think of INGSOC from 1984 whenever you hear this term, or MAGA republicans.

Sally has allegations being thrown at her by multiple guys in the guy's friend group.

They plan to continue the rumors until their able to force her to do what they want her to do for them. This is an example of Collective Machiavellianism
