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.

Sally has allegations being thrown at her by multiple guys in the guy's friend group. They are doing this because she had rejected one of them, and now they want to get their revenge on her by working together to make false accusations about her in order to ruin her image at school. They plan to continue the rumors until their able to force her to do what they want her to do for them. This is a highschooler's example of Collective Machiavellianism.

Get the Collective bullymug. noun
central collective expounds the institution of state or government. Effectively, any society which has in place a government, is effectively a collective and as such can never be a (cooperative) society. For the simple fact that the concept of cooperative, defines the inherent right of free choice and will in participation by all its members (the general citizen body). Whereas in a society governed by a state, the social bodies participation in and as such abiding by state-imposed Laws and measures, is compulsory and as such the right of free choice and will, is thus void and nonexistent.
