In political jargon, a useful idiot is a term currently used to reference a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause—particularly a bad cause originating from a devious, ruthless source—without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause's leaders. The term was used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation. Conversely, it was then, and is used now to describe someone unwittingly doing the bidding of the CIA or US government.
False Attribution to Lenin:
The phrase useful idiot has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but he is not documented as ever having used the phrase. In a 1987 article for The New York Times, American journalist William Safire investigated the origin of the term, commenting that a senior reference librarian at the Library of Congress had been unable to find the phrase in Lenin's works and concluding that in the absence of new evidence, the term could not be attributed to Lenin. Similarly, the Oxford English Dictionary in defining useful idiot says: "The phrase does not seem to reflect any expression used within the Soviet Union".

"Leftists" who do not believe in international solidarity, or promote elitism, are useful idiots for the CIA.
That guy is either a useful idiot or a spook, because he is sowing dissension in our ranks.

Get the Useful idiot mug.Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow

Get the Fat idiot drinking beer mug."Hivemind Idiom" is a term for a group forming its own unique way of communication, birthing specific terms and phrases that become an exclusive linguistic code.
But there's a complex side to it. Sometimes, these group-specific phrases act as containers for vicariously traumatizing concepts, all wrapped up in catchy lingo. People circulate these loaded phrases, much like a hot potato, without fully grasping their hurtful consequences.
This becomes especially common in environments characterized by echo chambers and a culture of platforming strawmen. Here, individuals are often exposed only to distorted or oversimplified versions of opposing perspectives, leading to the propagation of harmful hivemind idioms. It's like being handed tinted glasses that only let you see the world in one color, exacerbating misunderstandings and stirring divisiveness in conversations and debates.

I am really tired of all the hivemind idioms, it seems like nobody can string a sentence by themselves anymore.
