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.

Get the Collectermug. the best way to describe this is to take an authentic role playing video game that if you kill trillions of monsters in the game by then the Collective experience makes you a force to be reckon with. the strongest in that particular video game too bad you can't carry it on to the sequel and other video games and it really starts to get tedious after so many times of doing it. maybe why people only do one.
the Collective experience isn't ever seen as is....but a single thread a single paint brush of the grand design...

Essencially Bug/Reptile Catching but with Mammals
Basically you use Cages/Crates to Catch Mammals and Guns with Nets to Catch Birds
Then you Keep Them as a Pet Until they Die Where you Make a Taxidermy Out of Them for Display (Just like with Insects)
Some People May Also Use These Exotic Pets For Protection or to Fight With (Just like a Pokemon) While Most Just use the Pet as a Mythical Companion
This Practice of Pet Collecting However is Very Illegal in Most Countries
(More So than Getting an Exotic Pet Through the Black Market or a Farm)
So Proceed with Caution

My husband has so many new designer duds, yet he still chooses to shop from the closet with the homeless collection of clothes......
Why are you dressing yourself from a homeless collection? Have you not looked in the mirror?
He was so cheap his clothes look like they came from a homeless collection yet he thinks he looks great!
