Collective West

The more appropriate term to the overused and misleading "International Community", mostly abused by American and EU government officials when it comes to matters of international affairs and geopolitics. The Collective West is comprised of USA, Canada, EU countries, Australia, New Zealand, and to a less extent, Japan. The misuse of the term "international community" has been pointed out by other countries (such as Russia, China, and other Eurasian nations) and anti-globalist skeptics/critics as a lowkey tactic to isolate and de-legitimize valid concerns of these other countries, in terms of their economic, political, and socio-cultural viewpoints.
Biden (or any EU/NATO official): The international community must stand up to Russia in the defense of Kiev and its DEmoCraCy.

Collective-timing bias

The collective-timing bias is a form of cognitive tendency to think in a certain way that consists of not understanding that a specific situation or task requires immediate decision by a single person while decision makers affected by collective-timing bias try, consciously or unconsciously, to waste time by sharing the potential decision with anyone around ignoring the fact that:
 most people do not have the power to take that decision;
 most people do not have interest in that decision making process;
 they are in overdue;
 they are paid for taking that decision.

A collective-timing bias is a powerful form of group-think.
A - “What do you think about the decision to buy that corporation? Your opinion is request by the decision-making process”

B - “What? I do not know. I am a handyman. No collective-timing bias please”

A - “Your opinion is very important. We need an immediate decision. The acquisition of that company is in danger”

B - “I do not know. I am a handyman. I do not have the power or the responsibility to decide on that acquisition. No collective-timing bias please”

A - “Thank you for your opinion. We will go on by following your orders.”

Thank you, Donald! Your ongoing frequent displays of flagrant ineptitude, overt criminal behavior, nacissism-fueled self-destructive acts and hopelessly pathologic relationship with the truth have provided us all with yet another lesson in Constitutional Law.

How about this? Our next Collective Action is to vote YOU right the fuck OUT of office.

Asshole, YOU'RE FIRED!
